Haydon Pit Wheel

Every morning from 1968 when my family moved to 2 Grovewood Road, I was woken by the pit wheel and watched it from my bedroom window until its closure 1973. It was in direct view straight up through the first straight of Grovewood. I was aged 5 when we moved there. I still see it so clearly, but a photo would be great (and weird).

RE: RE: Haydon Pit Wheel

The Haydon Pit Wheel [ Kilmersdon Pit] was moved to Haydon Playing Field, which was arranged by Commander Rowe. It was then moved to Radstock. It is now part of the Miners Welfare Garden in the centre of Radstock opposite Radstock Museum.
