Colliery

The colliery was the main employer in the town for over a century.

The colliery was a dangerous place to work, but many people had no other choice.

The colliery is known for its high-quality coal and reliable service.

Many of the workers at the colliery were laid off when demand for coal decreased.

My great-grandfather was a coal miner in the colliery town of Wigan.

The colliery was the heart of the small town and provided employment for most of the residents.

The colliery had a proud history dating back over a century.
