Another photo of Duckhole mine and once again we can clearly see the works on the hill, come on you people out there what date would this be taken, help a lady (I use the term loosely) out. My guess would be about 1930. Thank you Simon what would I do without you?
The title under this picture says Whitechapel mine but I think that is wrong and it’s Whitecliffe mine and I am hoping that some one out there will confirm my thoughts. Anyone know who Bruce was whose series this photo is from? Nice photograph though shows quite a lot of the valley and the works on the hill, looks quite peaceful.
Nice photo, taken this time from Mill Bank. Glover’s Path can be seen as can the buildings to the left of the photo belonging to Whitecliffe mine. The old railway bridge is very clear, as are the steel works back right. Carlin How mine was known to the miners as Duck Hole owing to the wet working conditions. Don’t think the date is 1935 though. Duckhole closed in 1944 and as you can see the headgear has been demolished. The chimney for North Loftus pit can still be seen so my guess for date is about 1950. Thank you for that information Simon, don’t know what I would do without your input.  Bell's Pit Bell’s pit, due to its ownership by Bell Brothers, at Carlin How, more popularly known as “Duck Hole” (because of the very wet working conditions), was towards the end of its working life known as North Loftus Mine.
