Which side is which?

Rob Lunn
Brunner is on the far side the chimney that remains is above the one pictured almost in a line and in the grassed area that appears in this photo

Pauline Schafer
Rob Lunn the Brunner mine is on the far side but the Tyneside mine is on the bottom or Brunner side. You can tell by the shape of the rocks under the bridge and the shape of the roads.

Vern Pattinson
That chimney is still there
