Description: | Undated. This photograph of a small section of Bruntcliffe Road shows Victoria Colliery, Bruntcliffe. The pithead workings are shown on the left with the second shaft behind the chimneys of the houses in the centre, which were on Albert Terrace. The chimney in the distance belongs to Cliffe Dyeworks. It looks as if Albert Terrace has some outbuildings on the roadside which would be built for dustbins and privvy middens which would be convenient for emptying. It also looks as if Bruntcliffe Road is being widened at this time up to the wall in the foreground and to these outhouses. Somewhere across Bruntcliffe Raod a railway line from the colliery made its way down the side of the cemetery to join the G.N.R. line near Bruntcliffe Lane bridge. The tram track ran along Bruntcliffe Road and would have to cross the railway line at right angles.
