Ford Hill Colliery just outside Halifax at the edge of Queensbury was 180 yards to the Soft Bed. The main roadway or gate was four foot high, the bye gates to the face three foot six inches, and the stalls three foot. These are nominal heights and due to settlement of the roof the roads would usually be lower. The working faces were 700 yards from the shaft in the 1920s. This building and a small spoil tip at the side of the main road from Halifax to Bradford are all that remains of a pit which worked for more than 40 years.
