Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken from the footpath that crosses the grass field at the rear of Bagger wood Farm. Bagger Wood can be seen beyond the farm buildings. It is managed by The Woodland Trust. See link: http://www.wt-woods.org.uk/BaggerWood

Dist:0.3km<br/>Public footpath close to the Bagger Wood picnic site. This is also the site of the Stanhope Silkstone Main Colliery which closed in 1875. The freight railway line also ran from this point joining the Woodhead line south of Thurgoland. A chap in the nearby Monkey pub tells me that the pit was also known locally as Levy Tag.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This area was clearly the Eastfield of a medieval farming system. It seems likely that it was the Eastfield of Thurgoland village - though geographically it lies to the NNE of the village. These cottages are on Bagger Wood Lane.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Bus services are still an essential service for many people in the community. For some people these provide the only means of travelling to doctors, hospitals and shops.

Dist:0.4km<br/>We think that this cottage is known as `the engine house' though this name no longer appears on the building. It is interesting to speculate which kind of engine would be housed here.

Dist:0.4km<br/>According to the 1855 OS map this is the site of the Stanhope Silkstone Main Colliery. In the winter the earth mounds are clearly visible. A dismantled railway track leaves this site travelling west before turning south and crossing Thurgoland Hall Lane to the east of Pinfold Lane. It crossed the A629 to the east of Thurgoland before joining the Manchester/ Sheffield (Woodhead) Line.
