CHARITY: 517325 REGISTERED OFFICE: CAPHOUSE COLLIERY -----Original Message----- From: mining-history [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Keith Ramsey Sent: 12 June 2009 21:53 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Harry Stoke Colliery Can anyone give me a grid reference for Harry Stoke colliery on the northern outskirts of Bristol? The colliery was on or near the site of the Hewlett Packard works, but I'm not sure of its precise position. Part of the HP site and some adjoining land (some 70 acres in all) has been bought by UWE and will be redeveloped over the next few years. http://www.uwenewcampus.com/ If the site of the colliery is on this land I'd like to try to get access to it before any work takes place to photograph any remains that may still exist, although I suspect that I may be wasting my time and the site has either been landscaped or built on already.
