But pits as we know them, that is with pithead winding gear, did not appear until the late 18th/ early 19th century. Snowgate Head Colliery was by what is now the Crossroads Inn. The buildings had gone but the chimney was standing until the early 40s. Sally Wood Pit was not really a pit at all, but Is a drift for the miners to enter the workings of the Hazelhead Colliery-Tinker's. This is just off the Penistone Road at Hollin House Lane. Wood Colliery, off the Sheffield Road at Stalley Royd Lane, Jackson Bridge was part of Tinker's.

NCA Profile: 37 Yorkshire Southern Pennine Fringe
National Character 37. Yorkshire Southern Pennine Fringe Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 37. Yorkshire Southern Pennine Fringe Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
