Going through some images on my computer, these turned up. They are scans of 35 photos, of the remains of the Loree Colliery of the D&H Coal Company.

The Colliery was named after a President of the D&H Railroad. The main breaker building was demolished years before. The only thing left were these Outbuildings, as the are called.

These were located off of Nesbitt Street in Larksville. On going to St. John's Church Bazaar and the Larksville VFD Bazaar in the summer of 2014, not of the structure by the road were sitll there. Not sure if the other ones further back in the coal dumps are still there.

These images were from the early 1990's, about 1991. I was still using a Pentax K-1000 then.

Gears and machinery looking through a broken window.

Pipes going across Nesbitt Street ... kind of looks like a signal bridge on a railfroad.

Looking up Nesbitt street.

Deeper in the coal dumps there was this little building ... look at the fancy brick work on it.

Some kind of machinery attached to this building.

Here is the remains of a Dorr Seperator.

This was a concrete support to a tramway or conveyer belt line, were they moved coal or waste material, culm, to various areas of the property.

This is a substation and perhaps a powerhouse.

An old shovel surrounded by White Birch trees. This is the official tree of the NEPA culm dumps.

This looks like some sort of machine shop. Almost all the mine buildings have those ventilators on the roof to funnel in the outside air.

Ths last shot kind of looks like a Lost City with part of a broken building ... an old shovel ... and it all disapears into the Fall Foilainge on the mountains on the other side of the Wyoming Valley.
