The memorial lists the names of the eighty one miners who were killed whilst working at the local pit between 1925 and 2004. The youngest was A.B.Coxon aged 14 and the oldest was W.Annable aged 66. Behind the memorial you can see the now redundant pithead tower at Harworth Colliery - itself an accidental monument to our lost coal industry.
