Sue,
If the pit was downhill from Grammer Street, (turn left) then it would definitely be Ormonde Colliery.

The Post Office is still thriving and sells newspapers, alcohol, groceries etc.
On the opposite corner is the Baptist Chapel, so I think we have the correct location. Billy Belfield would have been the Postmaster in the 1950's. The O.A P. complex opposite is Belfield Court, named after him.

Come back more often Sue, we need the tourists !
