Of course Collie dogs come from a colliery! - It makes sense.
But as to the accuracy of the pics - I really don't know. I've lived in Barnsley all my life but there are no obvious landmarks. The long view does look as though the colliery is set in a valley - and it is/was in the valley below Kendray Estate, but they built new headgear and sank new shafts after the disaster so it would all have changed anyway.
