Stoke - Florence Colliery 199907

            This group of photographs is of Florence Colliery which was on the south corner of Longton.  My parents had a house that backed onto the colliery so I looked at this every day during my teens.  My father remained in that house until he died in 2011 and I still photographed the site from time to time including climbing on the old spoil heap.  These are the views from my bedroom window in 1970 and 2004. I spoke to the couple on the photo and he had been a miner here.
