Barnsley Main Colliery | Dji Mavic Mini | Edited In Kinemaster | 2021

Barnsley Main Colliery originated as Oaks Colliery, when a coal-winding shaft and a pumping shaft were sunk to the west of Oaks Lane, Stairfoot, in 1824. Thirteen explosions occurred at the colliery over ten days in 1866, resulting in the deaths of 383 miners and the closure and infilling of the Old Oaks shafts. New shafts sunk at Ardsley in the following year opened as the ‘New Oaks Colliery’ in 1870. Barnsley Main closed in 1965, following an accelerated pit-closure programme. A £25 million-pound refurbishment scheme saw the re-opening of Barnsley Main in the 1970s, with the construction of several new buildings at the pit top. The site’s surviving headgear and two-storey, brick-built engine house date from this period. Barnsley Main is clearly a symbol of the mining heritage of the Dearne and Yorkshire as a whole. The rarity of the pithead highlights it as significant. The Dearne was once covered in many such structures – this is the only one left. It represents a huge opportunity to engage with people of all generations in the mining past of the Dearne and use it as a starting point for further discussion, consultation, creativity, learning and understanding. Barnsley Council was successful in 2012 in having the structure designated as Grade 2 listed.
