Woodhorn Colliery: Plan of Woodhorn Underground Workings

This plan shows the block system of longwall working at Woodhorn in about 1948. It gives some idea of how extensive the underground workings were. No.1 and No.2 shafts are shown just left of centre with the surface railway running across the plan from right to left.
