Hi Me again found a better site. It has photo's of the old coal mine plus others take a look. http://www.search(*)staffspasttrack(*)org(*)uk/engine/search/default_hndlr(*)asp This is what it says by the old mine photo Closed in 1957. The main shaft had the most romantic name of any pit in North Staffordshire – the Fair Lady – but no one knows where the name came ... As before replace * with dots Cheryl x

Hiya Guys, Just wondered if anyone knows anything about this village which was mostly knocked down in 1960's.It was called Leycett and there was a colliery there and a school called woodland county primary and also a miners welfare institute,all that remains now is one row of houses and a cricket club.Any help appreciated.
