The colliery was situated in a deep valley. Along one side at the top of the valley runs Haugh Road, Rawmarsh and on the other a lane known locally as "Greasbrough Tops". The first sod of the new colliery development was cut by Viscount Milton, son of Earl Fitzwilliam, on 14 November 1913 and it took until 1915 to complete the sinking. The pit was situated on the [Wentworth Estates](/source/Wentworth_Estate%2C_Yorkshire) of [Earl Fitzwilliam](/source/Earl_Fitzwilliam) and was owned, until nationalization by Earl Fitzwilliam's Collieries Co. Ltd. It was sunk to reach the [Parkgate seam](/source/Parkgate_seam) and replace the nearby Old Stubbin pit which also worked the [Barnsley seam](/source/Barnsley_seam). Following nationalization the colliery came under the control of the [National Coal Board](/source/National_Coal_Board). The colliery was connected to the national rail system by a single track railway, which pre-dated the colliery being built to serve earlier workings, and which ran down the Stubbin Incline to the [Greasbrough Canal](/source/Greasbrough_Canal), a landsale site and a connection to the [Great Central Railway](/source/Great_Central_Railway) at [Rotherham Road](/source/Rotherham_Road_railway_station) and the [Midland Railway](/source/Midland_Railway) between [Rotherham Masborough](/source/Rotherham_Masborough_railway_station) and [Parkgate](/source/Parkgate_and_Rawmarsh_railway_station). In Parkgate, adjacent to the canal were [coke ovens](/source/Coke_ovens) belonging to [South Yorkshire Coke and Chemical Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_Yorkshire_Coke_and_Chemical_Company&action=edit&redlink=1) and which supplied coke to [Park Gate Iron and Steel Company](/source/Park_Gate_Iron_and_Steel_Company) 's blast furnace plant. The colliery ceased production on 6 July 1978, however remained as an underground store until the mid-1980s. ## References - Official Handbook, Rawmarsh Urban District Council, 1959. - Closure Reports : *Rotherham Advertiser*, Issues in May and June 1978. v t e Coal mining in Yorkshire Coal mines in North Yorkshire Selby complex2 (Gascoigne Wood, North Selby, Riccall, Stillingfleet, Whitemoor Wistow) Tan Hill Coal mines in South Yorkshire1 Aldwarke1 Askern Barnburgh Barrow Bentley Brodsworth Brookhouse Bullcroft1 Birley Cortonwood Dalton Dinnington Elsecar Fence Harry Crofts1 Hatfield Hickleton High Hazels Huskar Kilnhurst Kiveton Park Maltby Manvers Markham Main New Stubbin North Staveley Nunnery1 Orgreave Rossington Rother Vale Rotherham1 Roundwood1 Silverwood Smithies Thorne1 Thurcroft Tinsley Park Treeton Waleswood Warren House Warren Vale Wath Wharncliffe Woodmoor Yorkshire Main Coal mines in West Yorkshire Caphouse Flockton Frickley Garforth Collieries (Isabella Pit, Sisters Pit, Trench Pit) Kellingley Killingbeck Middleton Shuttle Eye Prince of Wales Upton Waterloo Main Wheldale Woolley Incidents Allerton Bywater Colliery Explosion Cadeby Main pit disaster Lofthouse Colliery disaster Lundhill Colliery explosion Oaks explosion Peckfield Colliery disaster Coalfields and seams Coal seams of the South Yorkshire Coalfield Ingleton Coalfield South Yorkshire Coalfield Industrial relations UK miners' strike (1969) UK miners' strike (1972) UK miners' strike (1984–85) Battle of Orgreave South Yorkshire Miners' Association West Yorkshire Miners' Association Yorkshire Miners' Association Other articles Geology of Yorkshire List of collieries in Yorkshire (1984–2015) Monckton Coke Works National Coal Mining Museum for England British MPs sponsored by mining unions Notes 1 Pre 1974, most coal mines in South Yorkshire were actually in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
