I drove past this place a couple of times on the way to see Betty Chicken (my Gran)!  I stopped one afternoon but couldn’t stay long enough to try and enter the building as I had to get back to pick up the kiddiwinkles from school… A beautiful big building which I am only assuming is or was something to do with the coal mining industry due to the large chimney and placement on some flat land in a steep gorged valley.  The red brick work is lovely, I’d really like to know more about this place if anyone knows anything please do comment!  All I know is that it is most definitely, now, lost in the rubble…
