Summer 2024 - Reclaiming Bestwood Edition
This edition explores the transition of the site from working colliery to country park,
It has been written by David Vincent (he of "Vincent's View") who was the Mining Surveyor employed by the NCC Land Reclamation Team to restore the land at Bestwood Colliery once the pit closed. It gives a whole new perspective to any walk in the country park to know what lies beneath your feet. A great read for anyone visiting the park. This pdf is 5.4MB ![]()
