Summary edit
| Description | In 1902 Thurcroft was owned by Thomas Marrian of Thurcroft Hall who leased the coal under his estates to Rothervale Collieries Ltd. The sinking of the colliery began in 1909 but because of problems with water and faults in the rock the coal measures were not reached until 1912. In 1913 full time mining commenced and there was a large increase in population as the mining company began to build housing for miners coming to work in the pit. In 1918, coke ovens and a brickworks were erected at Thurcroft. The brickworks was later taken over by Butterley Brick (closed 1992). Manpower at the colliery reached a peak in 1931-9 and again in 1947 when over 2,000 men were employed. |
