The coal tips had a habit of over-heating just below the surface, including this one, not far from where I lived in the 1960s. A sprinkler pipe, 300mm to 500mm in diameter, was laid around the tip, about 5m to 10m up from the base.
I also remember a very much smaller 3m high mound, 10m across, over-heating in a field on the edge of Cornhill in Norton. In this case the coal was probably dug out many years previously by local folk who possibly had been laid off and had no money coming in. The top of it collapsed, revealing smoking reddish clinker with many voids. I believe that someone did suffer some burns as a result. '
