I'm not surprised at this comment as the main bulk of the workforce used either Chevington drift or some of the South side drifts and the Amble men were using Moorhouse , Coldrife, East Togston or Radcliffe. There was a large surface workforce at the colliery but I don't think the baths were used to their capacity. They would have been more use at Hauxley where the whole workforce would have been able to use them. Instead we were given temporary baths in September 1963, the pit closed in November 1966!!
