Pwllbach Colliery Co Ltd v Woodman [1915] AC 634 is an English land law case, concerning easements.
Pwllbach Colliery sublet land in Glamorganshire from a tinplate company, whose memorandum authorised mining to be carried on.
The jury found there was a nuisance but the screening was reasonable and usual for the district, without negligence.
Earl Loreburn said it was unnecessary to answer whether creating coal dust could be an easement because the company was never authorised to do a nuisance.
But it is essential for this purpose that the parties should intend that the subject of the grant or the land retained by the grantor should be used in some definite and particular manner.
