More about this scene
This picture looks down the village of Wales towards Kiveton Park, both pit villages which boomed from 1867 during the heyday of the South Yorkshire coalfield. The 1st Duke of Leeds' estate at Kiveton Park was established in 1699, but it was demolished in 1811 as it was considered 'unfashionable'. Today the park estate has reverted to fertile farmland. The underground coal reserves in the district later provided a livelihood for thousands of mining families.
