The Hollin Busk Colliery, Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire, appears to have worked coal and fireclay (or possibly ganister). It is supposed to have reached Coal at 108ft and Pot Clay at 261ft. The winding shaft for the colliery was a short distance to the north west of this one which appears to have been sunk c1900 for ventilation. The whole mine had closed before 1930. Sadly this unusual survival has now been needlessly flattened.

Cool in pink! Gatehouse at the Stocksbridge Steelworks.

The Palace Cinema opened in 1921 and replaced the Electric Theatre on Edward Street, Stocksbridge. At some time later it was extended and a new projection room was added high up attached to the wall. The remains of the supports for the floor of this structure can be just seen at the right edge of the image. It was here that the young Reginald Dixon played piano to accompany the silent films long before he became famous for his skills on the organ.
