Workers outside Shireoaks Colliery drift in 1978

End of an era at Shireoaks

THE Shireoaks Colliery Company was registered in December 1864, though the colliery itself dated back to the previous decade - the shaft having been sunk from 1854 and the first coal being reached in 1859. In May 1873 work began on sinking the shaft at a new colliery at Steetley. Both Shireoaks and Steetley were allocated to the NCB’s North East Division, No 1 Area on nationalisation in 1947. In 1967, both collieries were transferred to South Yorkshire and in 1983 the two collieries merged bringing surface working at Steetley to an end.
