There was a drift in the area bordered by Centre Row and Leslie Row this was part of Broomhill Colliery and operated until the early 50's.
As far as I remember the area you have marked was used by Albert and Jimmy Douglas to keep poultry and pigs they also had a couple of ponies with flat carts and did a bit of local haulage in their spare time, they both worked at Hauxley.
