RIP Tommy the last pit pony at Sherwood who retired around 1965. I used to go to the swimming baths somewhere very close to the colliery in the early 70's as a kid.
It was a great time to be in Mansfield - the pits brought money in and gave jobs - it’s dead now - I knew some great lads and some complete arses - but I learnt my loyalties in the pit and team work
Great music. Long live the memories of the men and women of Sherwood Pit.
Just brought so many good memories back a lot of the face's I know some no longer with us R.I.P 😪

One of my seven pits but my favourite. Loved it there.

Forgot about the football team
My great uncle was locked out of that pit for trying to form a union
