These sections are followed by a list of Colliery-related sites with significant remains in 2008 (most of which are still extant), then an index of the pits referred to in the text with their map references. The book contains several previously unpublished photographs. This will help you spend many happy hours walking around some of the less well-known corners of South Gloucestershire.
