This page is totally unverified. Apears to have no signifigance. Does anyone know of this place who can verify it exists and is significant?

 * Keep. In its previous incarnation as a coal mine ("pit" in British usage), it is deeply signifant in British labor history. It was where the 1984 coal strike started. I have added references for its past, and will try to locate a verifiable source for its current role. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - of course it's a place, and per User:TruthbringerToronto. Camillus (talk) 23:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Perfectly accurate article. Quite significant in the area due to the fact that it is where the strike started and it is now a successful retail park providing numerous jobs. Totally agree with the access problems on a weekend. Would be nice to see a little more about the colliery in the article.
