Sorry, I know these are old photo's now but I think they are still current...
I visited Harworth Colliery earlier in the year and after getting into a conversation with the guard (an ex-miner from the colliery) he sussed I was not there to steal anything and allowed me to walk around the surface of the site for as long as I liked and take pictures. All the surface buildings were well locked down and as the guard said "I can follow you all over the site with the CCTV"
A lot of the general stuff you would expect to find lying around a colliery yard have already gone so I would not expect it to start work again although I was told that the inspection teams do descend the shaft every day and inspect all the way to the coal face. How true this is can be anybodys guess!
Here are a few of the pictures, I hope you enjoy!
