Hill Pit, Brereton near Rugeley, Staffs
This is the site of the Main Shaft of Hill Pit, which operated between 1800 and 1850. It was located on Lord Pagett's lands just above The Glen on Colliery Road, Brereton. This photo clearly shows the remains of the brickwork that would have housed the winding gear and laoding area. Just behind this site are the remains of the tramway, which would have transported the coal down to the town of Rugeley and on to the Wharf where Rugeley Town railway station now stands.
