Sutton Colliery Memorial
Simple memorial at a path junction at Brierley Forest Park. A large factory at Sutton in the background.
On 21st February 1957 an explosion occurred in the Low Main Seam at the colliery and 25 men suffered multiple burns. Five men subsequently died as a result of their injuries.
The inscription on the memorial reads 'In commemoration of the five miners who died in 1957 Sutton Colliery (Brierley Pit) disaster and in tribute to all those who worked at the colliery 1872-1989, laid on behalf of the local community by the friends of Brierley Forest Park 2003'.

Brierley Forest Park
Looking south towards Sutton In Ashfield. This site was originally the waste tip from Sutton Colliery, known locally as 'Brierley Colliery' (possibly renamed by the Staffordshire colliers who moved here from the Brierley Hill area), or the 'Bread and Herring Pit' because of the poor condition of the colliery. The colliery closed in 1989 and, following landscaping, the site is now a country park.
