Shireoaks Colliery has a unique place in mining history...
It proved that the “concealed “coalfield was workable and paved the way for many more local collieries, helping to transform Worksop from an agricultural backwater into an industrial powerhouse. It existed for 137 years and touched the lives of thousands of local people – perhaps more than any employer in the locality.
Join former miner and mining historian, Phil Whitehead, to hear tales of engineering, endeavour and enterprise from the area’s earliest colliery.
