Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Nose's Point and the Blast Beach To the upper left of the picture is where Dawdon Colliery used to stand until its closure in 1991.
In the foreground is the Blast Beach. This is where all the colliery waste was dumped (if you've seen the film 'Get Carter' you'll have seen a slurry tip like the ones that were here). In the decades before the pit closed so much waste was tipped that it formed an artificial raised beach running several hundred metres out to sea, complete with plant and animal life. Once the pit closed the sea started to erode the beach back to its former state. In the lower middle of the picture can be seen the remains of this artificial beach - doubtless in ten or twenty years that will be gone too and the beach will be back to its original state. Much of the shore area to the South of Noses's Point is now owned by the National Trust. |
