Administrative History	Furnace Hill Colliery was a small drift mine which was close to Renishaw Park Colliery. which had previously been worked by J and G Wells Limited until some time between 1910 and 1915. Renishaw Park was re-opened by the Horrox family in 1922, when a new lease was granted by the Sitwell family to R. E. Horrox. Furnace Hill Colliery was abandoned in 1929. Renishaw Park Colliery was transferred into the control of the National Coal Board folowing the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1947.
