App Description

Before its closure in 1981, Lofthouse Colliery was not only a nationally known pit it was the lifeblood of the local community.

Using this GPS-triggered app you can now explore the former colliery site and hear the tales of the ex-miners – the Lofthouse Family - and view their photographs. Listen to the miners recall the exploits of their daily lives and their first hand experiences of that fateful day in 1973 when disaster struck.
