Posted: 17/05/2011 17:23:57 Reply | Quote There were the shafts for Ackton Hall Colliery as stated at Featherstone, where also the coal came out. There was also a manriding shaft on the outskirts of Ackworth on the left hand side of the road after leaving Ackworth towards Featherstone. The site now has a small housing estate on it with a couple of the old "officials" houses fronting the road IP: 92.11.163.25 |
