The silver Vauxhall Vectra Estate has been dumped at the top of Bentley pit top - leaving people to speculate as to who owns the car and why it was abandoned there.

The car, with the registration plate X811 RJO, has been left in woodland on the former colliery site with the drivers' side door left open to the elements.
