Former Brookhouse Colliery Site, Beighton
Until 1985 this was the site of Brookhouse Colliery, infamous for the 'overwind' accident in 1958 when a cage lowering men into the mine went out of control, seriously injuring 36. After closure, the site was used for opencast mining, which yielded 1.5 million tonnes of coal before that activity ceased in 1994. The area has since been landscaped.

Brookhouse coke ovens 4th February 1977
Coal from Brookhouse Colliery was made into coke at the adjacent coke ovens.
Rams push the red-hot coke into a hopper mounted on rails. The hopper is electrically driven - you can see the locomotive and its electric pantograph pickup - and is transported a few tens of metres away to the cooling area where jets of water are sprayed onto the coke to cool it. It is then loaded into lorries or wagons to go to the steel works.
The coke ovens were closed and dismantled in the late 1980s. The land was opencasted to recover the shallow coal and then restored to make the Rother Valley Country Park.
