I surely don't envy you the hurricane season. But as you say, living in paradise has its price. I hope that you are not affected too badly by this years hurricane season.

Michael Hall Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 In reference to Normanton springs,before it became landfill during its mining era just as you come up Normanton hill on the left us four old pit houses I lived at No 7 with my grandparents,here's the layout as I can remember at the bottom of Linley lane was the quarry,just to the right of my Nans house was the railway which ran under Normanton Hill,then there was the brickyard,then there was the chemical factory then Birley west colliery,I too remember the shafts opening up in the early seventies and remember all sorts of bring dumped in them as to what it was I don't know. About 1977 ish it became the landfill and continued for many years if you look up Birley collieryit will show you historic layout of Normanton springs and pin point where the chemical factory was,when I was a young boy I was told the gases omitted from the landfill would take years to burn off and you could see the blue gases being burnt off at the bottom of Linley Lane hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylslinn Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 The railway line that passed under Normanton Hill still has the bridge abutments in place, as you come up the hill the line passed where the last house on the right is before the climb the wall on the left hand side of the road here is the top of what was the bridge. As a kid in the early 80's we used to play around the abandoned mine area before the whole area was levelled and filled in..... little did we know back then.
