I remember driving by this area with my family when I was young in the early 60's and the stench from the culm dump was terrible. I never knew the Marvine Colliery was right there.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to find a map of all the coal mines in Lackawanna County. My grandfather and great-grandfathers lived in Jessup and Peckville andworked in the mines.
