Marley Hill shed closed in 1970, along with our end of the Bowes Railway, but the railway remained open as it was cut back successively to Kibblesworth, Springwell & Monkton. Marley Hill colliery (& its fantastic canteen) was active until 1983, with coal being removed underground to the Clockburn Drift.
