That is fascinating. Thank you for that. Came across this in a random way as I remembered my late dad mentioning Clifton pit. My wife and I couldn’t work out where it once was! I would never have believed it was there! I vaguely remember the name of Wilford power station but again, hard to believe where it once stood.
