Demolishing Kiveton Park Colliery 1995
The colliery closed in 1994 and the main shaft buildings were demolished a year later. However, the mine's pithead baths were deemed to be of historical value and had a listed building order placed on them. But they never opened to public view and due to vandalism they were eventually demolished in 2013. The whole site has been landscaped and fishing ponds were added. The Norwood canal tunnel of the Chesterfield Canal passes close beneath and it has been proposed to untop the tunnel here and substitute a flight of locks in its place. But, as yet, nothing has materialised due to local problems and the inevitable cash shortage. In the photograph can be seen the huge electric winding apparatus.

Shunting Signal at Kiveton Bridge Station
Kiveton Park, South Yorkshire.
Not many years ago, this view from the end of Platform 2 at Kiveton Bridge station would have been a very different scene. The line of trees on the right would not have existed and straight ahead we would have been looking directly at Kiveton Park Colliery, which would have then dominated this scene. Just beyond the still extant ground position light in the foreground would have been points leading to sidings in the pit yard, and from this vantage point we would have had a clear view of wagons being loaded with coal.
The pit closed in 1994 and the whole area it occupied, including the pit tip, has since been transformed into the mini country park we know today as Kiveton Community Woodland. The sidings within the pit yard would have been lifted soon after the pit's closure, although the points on the main running line remained for some time afterwards. However, they too have now gone, and yet the redundant ground shunting signal remains to this day and, as can be seen from this picture, is still illuminated.
