The colliery was first opened by the Bolsoevr Colliery Company in 1912, following a lease of land from the Duke of Portland. It worked the Top Hard and Yard coal seams. It only operated for a couple of years before it was forced to close at the outbreak of the First World War, and it did not reopen again until 1920. The onsite facilities included screening and cleaning plants, as well as attached railway sidings. The colliery was taken over by the National Coal Board in 1947 during the nationalization of the coal industry. It was briefly closed in 1993 by British Coal, but was reopened again in April 1994 by RJB Mining. It finally closed for good in 2003.
