Sign of the times for Prince of Wales Colliery groupA piece of railway heritage has been presented by Network Rail to a coal mining heritage group. The sign from outside the Prince of Wales Colliery signal box in Pontefract was donated to the Prince of Wales Colliery Memorial Group. Memorial group member Garry Foreman, who worked at the pit for over 30 years approached Network Rail to ask about the sign’s fate. Garry said:“It was brilliant to be presented with the signal box sign by Network Rail. He’s now a level crossing manager, whose patch coincidentally includes the Prince of Wales level crossing.
