Terry,thank you for posting these photographs of Pemberton Colliery remains , did you take the shots ?. Photographs such as these will be invaluable to future generations.

That's May Mill, Pemberton.

The late Steeplejack Fred Dibnah would love to have demolished that chimney...maybe he did it.

i believe fred dibnah did demolish it

Nah, this was a dynamite job. Fred knew about the chimney as he said 'It had a lovely top'. But alas, no he didn't knock it down.

Was Pemberton Colliery also known as 'Blundells' ?

I have a couple of hundred pictures taken in the Wigan area in the early 80's. They are mostly of colliery remains,if anyone is interested in down loading them or if there is a quicker way I can put them onto this site please get in touch.

Terry, just keep posting them on here for now. Folks like me find all this stuff fascinating!
