wasnt there a direct line from wardley colliery to the coke ovens to keep the coal supply - going my dad worked in wardley for a lot of years - I still remember when he used to come home totally black and we had to get the old tin bath ready for him and I had to wash his back - that was long before we moved to thirlmere court with a supply of hot running water
