  This is a great photo probably from just after 1930. Remains of the foundation can still be seen. It is thought to have been used for pulling drams of waste from Princess Royal Colliery to the top of the spoil tip in the background. These were hard times in the Forest. Notice the boy at the bottom has no shoes
Thanks to Mrs Brown and to Brian James for seeking out this historic photo. Thanks also to Barry Adams and Trayci Adams.
Top Row : 1, 2, 3 Jim (Basher) Brown (with Harmonica), 4 , 5 Denley Adams.
The others we think are : Victor, Eric, Kenneth (Sam) Brown (all brothers) - (we are not sure which boy is which)
