History	Manners Colliery Company was established by some of the proprietors of the Rutland Colliery in 1877 for the purposes of sinking a new colliery to sink shafts to deeper coal seams in Ilkeston and surrounding areas. It became an incorporated company, Manners Colliery Company Limited, in 1898. The company acquired the Ilkeston (Oakwell) Colliery Company Limited when it went into liquidation in 1910 and then closed down Oakwell Colliery the following year. In 1915 it operated the Manners Collieries Nos. 1-3 and the Lodge Colliery at Newthorpe over the border in Nottinghamshire. The company was bought by Shipley Collieries Limited, who created a new company known as Ilkeston Collieries Limited, to which it transferred its assets and properties.
