English: Chatterley Whitfield Colliery - Pithead baths, near to Brindley Ford, Stoke-on-Trent, Great Britain.
This site retains the most complete set of traditional colliery buildings in the UK. Formerly operated as a museum, with underground visits, this project ran into financial difficulties. Problems with contamination have meant that recent attempts to reopen parts of the site to the public have not proved successful. The site has now been designated as a redevelopment area, with the intention of integrating the heritage aspects of the site with small businesses. Pictures within the site were taken during a special Open Day in 2004.
This brick-built building with flat roofs and tower is instantly recognisable as the pithead baths; many similar buildings were built during the early years after nationalisation.
