Yes there were lots of pits around. About ¼ mile south of the bottom of the area shown in the map were Woodside colliery pit 3 and pit 4. about ¾mile south himley colliery pit 10 and Saltwells colliery (disused at time of map), peartree colliery about ¾ mile to the south east, parkhead ½ mile to the east, pits 1 & 19 of himley½ mile to the north west and thornleigh colleries ¾ mile to the east. When was your great great grandfather at the pit , and what was his name. We might find him on a census, and should be able to work out where the house was
