An item on the local news this morning suggests that a decision has
finally been reached over the future of Chatterley Whitfield Colliery
and the former museum site - it is to be demolished !
The plan to demolish Chatterley seems to be part of a growing and
worrying trend throughout the country, where 'preserved' and/or listed
(including grade 1) sites are being cleared away.
Does anyone know what might happen to the Worsley Mesnes winding engine?
