This photograph was taken from the old Brierley Colliery pit yard where tubs of coal and sleck or red slate travelled to be deposited where the Forestry Commission planted fir trees and became Peter Wood. The coal also travelled down here. It went under the Holt at Engine Lane and onto the washer at Grimethorpe colliery. This roadway was commonly known as “The Ginny run” by the kids on the Hillside estate who also called Peter Wood “cowboy land”.
