Remember the races from the shaft side to the buses to get back to Barrow and those that smoked looking for their hidden cigs so they could have a drag on the bus, great memories. Enjoyed the video

Great film and very interesting! It’s a shame the building has been blighted by pathetic graffiti!
I would love to see inside that old building, it got some character.
My dad worked here he was the safety officer, and sometimes the pit manager.
Did you mention the monument at the top of Kendray hill , doncaster road . More or less opposite the Becketts hospital entrance .
Did my underground training there ..
I wonder if the shaft is still open or filled in?
My dad worked at Barnsley Main.
Crikey, have to go and have a look.
