  • Notes 
    • John Cottle lived in a colliery cottage in Foxcote Pit yard.

      He progressed to winding engine driver; a skilled job as he was responsible for not only transferring the miners underground but also hauling the tanks of water from the pit sump to prevent flooding and the pit ponies for their annual "holiday" on the surface.

      John had been involved with the building of the Methodist Chapel in Writhlington. This church was built in 1913 after the congregation out-grew the "Tin Chapel" in Green Parlour, his name and that of his daughter Beatrice are engraved on two of the foundation stones in the wall.
