Tips

The two shafts at this colliery, the site of which is now in the grounds of Oakwell Hall, were sunk by Birkenshaw Collieries Ltd between 1913 and 1916. At first the Blocking or Silkstone seam was worked with an average of 62 men working underground and 16 on the surface. The colliery was taken over by the Birkenshaw Collieries Co. Ltd in 1920, but it struggled between 1921 and 1931, with low numbers employed and periods of closure. The recovery began in 1932, by which time the directors of the company were members of the Gill family, who all lived fairly locally. Between 1934 and 1945 the company employed an average of 131 men underground and 29 on the surface
