Percy Main staiths, 1932

In 1932 aerial photography was still in its infancy. However, we are lucky to have this shot of the staiths at Percy Main commissioned by Hartley Main Collieries in 1932. This shows the staiths, East Howden on the left and Percy Main itself in the background. Our station is marked by the red dot in the second image!
