Remnants of the lamp room at Chatterley Whitfield Colliery. A far cry from what it was, even when the underground tours were running.

It makes me angry to see it like this; I remember going on a school trip down this pit when I was a kid. All the effort made twenty or thirty years ago to preserve our industrial heritage seems to be being undone at the moment.

I entirely agree. The neglect of this site is a national disgrace.

But sadly, not uncommon. Thankfully, Big Pit at Blaenavon is still going strong, with its underground tours and recent link up to the Pontypool and Blaenavon Heritage Railway.
