Hemingfield Colliery
Heritage Open Day: Visit this surviving Victorian colliery site. Sunk for Earl Fitzwilliam in the 1840s as Elsecar Low pit, it worked the Barnsley seam until 1920 when the site was converted into a pumping station. Now a scheduled monument protected by volunteers. Come to explore the site, a rare survival amongst the closures and demolition of the 1980s after the Miners Strike, and privatisation of the coal industry in 1994.
Originally built with canal and railway connections, Hemingfield Colliery's story is closely connected to the development of Elsecar as an industrial village, and directly connected to the work of the Earls Fitzwilliam at Wentworth Woodhouse.
