Peacock or Careful Colliery - any info?

Hi, Many thanks for the info and yes the water was its downfall! Interesting that J. Knighton was working there as that is the maiden name of Joseph Shorthose's grandmother!
I do have a copy of a list of "Collieries of the UK at work in 1880" and that shows no.156 as Peacock being owned by Joseph Shorthose so obviously by 1898 he might have sold it on or formed a company and put in a Manager.
Its all useful info for the files!
