Description (or HER record listing)
Shown on a plan of The Lands Colliery in the Five Quarter Coal, dated 1779 along with the galleries. A fault or dyke runs through Winlaton village and north of the pit. Says 'This dyke was tried in the Lands Colliery and found to be a considerable downcast to the east'. Hence all the pit galleries are south of the dyke. The plan is labelled 'The Lands Colliery in the Five Quarter Coal'.
