Hi Meurglys,
I had forgotten about the business park, when I left Golborne there were only about half a dozen "start up" businesses there. The majority of the colliery land is covered by housing. I knew many ex miners who all said that they were made redundant in 1992. For the last years of existence no coal was brought to the surface at Golborne, it was transported underground to Bickershaw in Leigh about 3 miles away. I lived in Golborne for 14 years up to 2000 (in Halewood Avenue).
