Administrative HistoryPye Hill Colliery was sunk in 1874 by James Oakes and Co Ltd in an area littered with old colliery workings. It was originally known as New Silkstone Colliery before being re-named Pye Hill Colliery in 1894. After the nationalisation of the coal industry it became part of the National Coal Board, going into East Midlands Division Area No. 5. On restructuring of the NCB in 1967 it went into the South Nottinghamshire Area. In 1968 it merged with Selston and Underwood collieries to become part of one large complex known as Pye Hill. The complex was closed down in 1985.
