Header photo & History lesson from 1951

Monkton Colliery was mentioned further down the board. This aerial photo from my records along with information I added shows where it was.
The nearest houses to it in 1951 was a row of houses on Elmfield Rd nicknamed 'Sinkers row' where the pit shaft men called 'Sinkers' lived.
The next housing close bye was Monkton Village.
