Photograph found in the Blue Bell Inn
This photograph was found in the Blue Bell Inn in 2008. We believe it is a Jones, but we are not sure which one. Obviously taken during the Second World War.

The Jinney Row at Aston Terrace
This is one of the few images we have of Aston Terrace, the mining hamlet built for the North Staveley Colliery Company.
The photograph shows the outside toilets on Jinney Row.
In the field behind the Rows is “Jack” (Len Senior) and the family dog.
“That was when winters were winters and summers were summers.”
Life down the Jinney
Graham Senior in his pedal car on Jinney Row.
Photographed, we think, in 1950.
The Colliery Company built seven rows of houses on the site of North Staveley Colliery, adjacent Mansfield Road. They were Top Row, Spring Row, Chapel Row, Ladies Row, Beighton Lane Row, Middle Row and Jinney Row.
We would appreciate any photographs taken on the colliery site.
They can be e-mailed to us at info@astonhistorygroup.co.uk or mailed to:
