Re: Townbent colliery,oswaldtwistle.
There is a book, writen by Jack Nadin I think, about East Lancashire Coalmines. I cannot find my copy.There will be a copy in Accrington Local Studies library and may be one in Ossie library. If you struggle, give Harry Tootle a ring - Please PM me for his number He is not in the best of health but will know the answer to your query and will help if he is well enough.
