Ladyshore Wood. A picturesque site with an industrial past site of ladyshore colliery. This is a mixed woodland with some evergreens and grassy areas, good access provides the chance to spot wildlife, including the occasional kingfisher.
Ladyshore Colliery, originally named Back o' th Barn, was situated on the Irwell Valley fault on the Manchester Coalfield in Little Lever, then in the historic county of Lancashire. The colliery opened in the 1830s and mined several types of coal. It became infamous as a result of the owners' stand against the use of safety lamps in the mines. Women and children worked in the mines, under poor conditions.
Closed in 1949, it was the last colliery to remain in use by the canal. Only the colliery office (now a house) and the stables have survived.
