Full Description

Bond's Main Colliery appears on the 2nd edition 25" OS map of c. 1900, but is not present on the 1st edition 25" OS map of c. 1880. It has expanded by the 3rd edition 25" OS map of the early 20th century, and Bond's Main worker's village has been constructed to the southwest [see SMR 13707]. (1-3) The M1 has since been built to the southwest, and the area is now a very large field. (4-5) An illustration by William Ashall, a former miner at Bond's Main Colliery, on 13th June 1929 is available to view on the internet (copyright held by John Whysall). (6)
