I remember, as a lad way back in late 1940s, riding my bike over the humps left after the colliery closed. It wasn't exactly my bike - it was between my brother and me and we used to ride it in turns pretending to be speedway riders.

More excellent pictures Terry. It's funny how such seemingly mundane pictures can bring back so many good memories. Thanks again for uploading these.
