I visited the Lodge House site in Derbyshire this week and it looks as though they are extracting the last of the coal and are filling in the last cut with overburden from a temporary storage pile. Also looks like the big kit won't be too far away from packing up. Only a few weeks of site life left now I'm guessing. Here are some photo's I've managed to take from the trip (excuse the quality of them as they were at a distance and visibility wasn't great)
