Smoke rising from the chimneys of the main colliery at Askern, Yorkshire
The colliery stood on the Permian limestone ridge overlooking the village of Askern. In the late 1920s a Coalite (smokeless fuel) plant was built next door. This took part of Askerns output and worked until 1986. The low price of coal led to serious financial losses and Askern closed on December 20th 1991
