Councillors in Broxtowe in Nottinghamshire have unanimously voted to replace Brinsley Headstocks in its original form, after the dismantling of the structure last year due to safety concerns prompted a backlash from residents.
The headstocks, the last remaining structure of the type in England, were used to transport men and coal up and down mines in the area from 1872 until the last colliery closed in 1970.
