Sheffield History Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Â Have been told it was Silverwood Colliery near Rotherham - can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaks Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yes it was Silverwood Colliery, Thrybergh, Rotherham; I used to work there. They replaced the name Silverwood with a fictional Clayfield Colliery, At the time of filming, coal production had ceased and most of the workforce had been made redundant. Just a few workers and management were left to do salvage and prep for full closure. Some of these men appeared as extras in the film, eg stretcher bearers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what road or where this scene would have been located? (I'm guessing it's long gone now?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
