Coal was also delivered by road, I took many tons in there from Bank Hall as well as the other pits you mention. We turned down a lane on the left of the Rishton road just after the Whitebirk crossroads to get to the coal stack. Gilbraith and Gilmartin might have had as many as a dozen tippers on the job at once. This was in the late 60's.
