In 1873, the
Kiveton Park Colliery Company was founded, replacing the prior trading name and operation. Initially, gas was obtained from the Beighton Gas Company, but in the 1870s the company began to make their own. This lasted until 1956, when it started to draw a supply from the grid.
237:. It reached its target at a depth of almost 700 yards (640 m). This coal was used for coking purposes and coke ovens were built adjacent to the colliery. The seam, because of a band of dirt at its centre, was an uneconomic proposition and abandoned after 10 years.
248:
at just over 300 yards (270 m) this was opened up in 1900 because of its very good quality house coal. The small coal mined was used for manufacturing purposes. Until 1929, all coal was mined by hand, but in the years to 1940, the mining was mechanised.
219:. It provided a significant freight transport connection. Within 20 years of the railway's opening, coal was being mined at many locations along the line and transported and sold to merchants in the Manchester area and in the port of Grimsby.
281:
In June 1941, an explosion at the mine killed at least two miners. A fracture in a lamp was believed to have ignited a pocket of gas and caused the explosion in the
Barnsley Seam. Five men were burned, two of whom died at the scene.
270:. The pithead baths, despite being a listed structure, was demolished in late 2013. Much of the former site to the south of the colliery offices was remediated and landscaped before opening as the Kiveton Community Woodland.
