| Administrative History | Warsop Colliery was first sunk in 1889 by the Staveley Coal and Iron Company. It first started producing coal in 1893. It worked the High Hazel, Clowne, Top Hard and Deep Soft coal seams. By 1935 it was seen as one of the most proficient mines in the country.
Warsop Colliery was transferred into the control of the National Coal Board as a result of the nationalisation of the coal industry. It was placed in the East Midlands Division Area No. 3, until 1967 when it became part of of the Nottinghmashire Area. In 1953, a reorganisation scheme was planned for both surface and underground workings, which was finished in 1960. The colliery was closed in 1989. |
