The colliery seen here is derelict and waiting for demolition or restoration (unlikely). The colliery had a short life compared to the others in the area (like Harworth) as there was geological problems (Faults I think). However its buildings survived them all (apart from Harworth which closed in 2006 and is mothballed)
