 By the mid-sixties the main part of the village had been demolished after the colliery closed down in 1957 despite there still being a considerable amount of coal untouched in the area.The only buildings left standing today are the old school and School House, the railway cottages, the Station House, part of the wooden station now used as a garage, the row of houses at Park Terrace and a few cottages and farms.Where the main bulk of the Leycett community once lived in the terraced houses (Top Street, Middle Street and Bottom Street) has now completely gone and today looks similar to an orchard, although the trees there are not fruit trees.
