Coal Mines near the M1

[Ken H]

Many years ago I remember passing 2 coal mines on the M1 going south of Leeds. Both on the East side.

One was markham, now Markham Vale industrial zone near Jct 29a

But one was near Wakefield
What was it called and where was it?

Woolley Colliery was between Barnsley and Wakefield.
