Rossenray colliery, shaft 1 !

 

The Rossenray colliery !


This is the tower of the Rossenray 1 shaft in Kamp-Lintfort (Germany). The tower was built in the 1960ies. Because of the remarkable vertical "bar" that you can see in the picture between the trees, the tower was also called "Rossenray cross".

For this very nice drawing I send my special thanks to the pit foremen's community at West colliery. Because of the relation to the postcards I received from the community, this drawing is exceptionally shown among the postcards.
