I am trying to trace my family tree and my grandad was a Waplington, and I think about 4 generations before him lived in Annesley. I’m confused by the ‘New Annesley’, ‘Old Annesley’ stuff?

Hello,
as I am interested in industrial history, I visited Annesley colliery several times. It hurts me to see that this beautiful and historically important site has been sacrificed to the real-estate gamblers.
You will find historic photographs on my website:

Hello, a bit late, but the whole pit has gone now and there is several houses built there now, two allready have people living in them!! They are building more houses at the back and I am really mad about it. It was a great place and it was nice going down there to go into the countryside. Now it will be covered in houses with lots of street light pollution. It’s really a shame what the done to the place and built all these unwanted houses, they have ruined it.
