pit head (plural pit heads)

  1. Alternative form of pithead (sense 1).
    • 1949 January and February, F. G. Roe, “I Saw Three Englands–1”, in Railway Magazine, page 11:
      The smoke-pall of industrial Lancashire hung over the landscape; perhaps slagscape would be a more fitting term. The general prospect was a succession of chimney-stacks, factories, pit-heads, slagheaps, junctions, sidings and coal wagons.
