Plough dragon inn the machinery below sitting silentA rusted farm plough sitting on open grazing land near the former Elrington Colliery site, outside Abernethy. The land surrounding the closed colliery has been used for agriculture since the mine shut in December 1962. Where coal once moved underground through two concrete lined shafts to supply BHP's Newcastle steelworks, the surface has long since returned to pasture. Part of the Elrington Colliery series.
