History	The colliery was first sunk in 1859 near Langley Mill. It was originally known as New Winnings, and was classed as being in Loscoe. It was renamed as New Langley after 1891 to differentiate it from Langley/Bailey Brook Colliery. It worked the Deep Hard, Deep Soft, Low Main and Piper coal seams. The highest recorded manpower was 505 in 1953, with the highest output of 244,877 tonnes in 1956. The site temporarily closed in 1887 because of a low demand of the coal mined here. It reopened in 1891. Official closure came in 1960, but underground workings merged with Ormonde Colliery.
