Ford Moss Colliery 2024

There are the ruins of the chimney, engine house and the stone-lined mine shafts that still remain. It was the industrial heartland of Ford Estate for over 200 years. The area was once home to a sizeable community, with the 1880s seeing over 100 people employed at the mine, and around 32 cottages in the surrounding colliery village. The colliery closed around the time of the First World War and the mining village quickly fell into ruin.
