In this section we have a number of maps that show the collieries and pits in the region
at various times. All of the maps are linked to the colliery detail pages so that when
you are viewing the detail of a particular map you can click on the colliery to see the
detailed information we have for that colliery. Please note that not all of the collieries
and pits shown on the maps have active links - we are gradually adding these.
You may find this a better method of locating collieries in a particular locality for the
selected time period.
