Description
A bridleway, an officially designated Public Right of Way, crosses the site of Weetslade Colliery to the south of the main spoil heap (HER 5446). The course of this bridleway appears to be on the earliest maps of the area, including the late 18th century (NRO Zan M17/197a/51) and appears fixed by 1852 (NRO 404/380).
