Dont know if the headgears will be preserved but they were still peeping
over the horizon in Mansfield 2 weeks ago.If it came to a toss up those
at Welbeck are more traditional and as I understand it Welbeck doesnt
have a rosy future,reserves are low and could be sacrificed for Thoresby,
theres a surprisingly traditional looking colliery.As to preserving Clipstone
the arguement could sadly be against it on the grounds that the superb
Pleasley a few miles away is already saved.If you dont know,access to
view Pleasley is simple and its good fun trying to spot it peeping over
the trees just out of Glapwell.
Best Wishes, Andrew Santer
