Wide Wednesday...Old, Aged

A bright, but not so sunny day for a walk around Manvers Lake this morning. Just myself and B, as G is still on holiday. A lovely brew and a warm scone to follow at the local tea room in the village.
The blip is the main pit head winding wheel from Manvers Main Colliery, which closed in January 1988. I would say the wheel is old, the first mine shaft was dug in 1887/88. It has been placed at what is now Manvers lake and the area became used for housing and recreation in the 1990's.
Extra is of the mine and the wheel in situ.....thanks Bob.
