    Westthorpe Colliery - opened when the first sod was cut on 17th March 1923 and subsequently closed formally on 31st March 1984, ceasing to produce coal seven weeks prior to this.

    When the pit was nationalised in 1947 it employed just shy of 1,000 workers. Work to return the site to nature began in 1997 and is now Westthorpe Hills.
