The plaque is placed next to a monument made from one of the pit wheels from the mine's winding gear, which can be seen here Image It is dedicated to the worksers at the colliery and the adjoining Homefires smokeless fuel plant. The dates quoted seem to be in error, however. The mine closed in 1991, was reopened by a private company and finally closed in 1996; see here https://www.ourwarwickshire.org.uk/content/article/coventry-colliery-2 .
