That clearly says Hill Top,  Collierley, not Colliery. Jomot was correct. Collierley was the name of the parish where he was born.

I'm getting a bit lost Jen whats the relevance of William Turner (b) 1903 birth place
I did actually type Collierley but it auto corrected to Colliery without me noticing

We were trying to establish his father’s whereabouts. You said earlier that William junior was born in 1903 at Hill Top Colliery, and the only one we could find was at Langley Park.
However it’s now clear from the scan you’ve provided that he was in fact born at Hill Top in the parish of Collierley which was much closer to where he was in 1901.

Every little helps.

I see the newspaper report states that William was ‘a most aggravating man’. I’ll second that
