Below: left, P3-the power house viewed from the south-west.
Right, P4-inside the power house.

Below: P5-the old colliery managers offices which are situated by the road near to Snowdown railway station, and probably to be demolished, are the oldest buildings on the colliery site and date from around 1910. They are a classic example of Edwardian industrial design. Similar buildings were once  to be found on other contemporary, and now also defunct,  East Kent colliery sites.
