Alexandra Colliery Basin, c1969.
Alexandra Colliery (also referred to as Wyken New Colliery), off Deedmore Road, Coventry, looking north from the end of the arm.
A reviewer remembers it in the 1950's as a young boy who spent hours fishing there. The houses shown on the photos were not yet built and look like those in Orion Crescent, and the three chimneys in the far background on the left are those of Coventry Power Station.
