Plaque on Coventry Colliery monument, Prologis Park, Keresley
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 .

Monument to the workers at the Coventry Colliery & Homefires Plant, Prologis Park, Keresley
This monument was erected in 2008 to remember the workers at the Coventry Colliery and the Homefires smokeless fuel plant. It is located on the edge of Prologis Park, a business park that occupies the site of the coal mine. The monument is made out of a pit wheel, one of four that were in use at the mine at the time of its closure in 1991. The wheel formed part of the winding gear that pulled cages from the mine to the surface and lowered them again, carrying coal, equipment and the miners themselves. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/victorians/launch_ani_winding_gear.shtml . The shafts of the Coventry Colliery extended 660m below ground level when they were sunk in 1917 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Colliery .
