Clipstone or Mansfield

Which Colliery?
By Pauline Marples

These photograph were given me sometime ago, and they were marked as 'Crownie' photos 1952. It has since been suggested they are of Clipstone Colliery, can anyone confirm this, or add more information about each photo?

Pic 2 is definitely Clipstone Colliery, you can confirm this on the aditnow.co.uk website which has masses of info and pictures of collieries up and down all of Britain

No4 is also Clipstone, the canteen, baths & medical centre clearly visible with the main road in front running past. Note also the prefabs in the background. Not sure if they were built by the Bolsover company but they did last a long time!
