Description:
C1930s.
Photograph take of Bruntcliffe Road looking north west, taken during the early 1930s and showing Victoria Colliery on the left, with two shaft heads visible. The pit was sunk about 1848 but ceased production before the Second World War. The chimney in the distance is that of Cliffe Dyeworks. The row of houses in front of the colliery is Albert Terrace, while those on the right are Chapel Street and Victoria Terrace. Roadworks are taking place on Bruntcliffe Road to widen the street.
