View Full Version : Waleswood Colliery elenac 27-02-2006, 16:24 After seeing some of the info forum members have come up with I wonder if anyone out there can help. During one of our digging sessions in our back garden we came across a miners check. It has the words 'Skinner & Holford' Waleswood Colliery and the miners number 758. Can anyone shed any light on the colliery or owners. I know where it was but thats all. DennisInOz 28-02-2006, 07:43 I remember it vaguely - it was closed, I think, in 1948.
