Originally owned by the Bolsover Colliery Company, it passed to ownership of the National Coal Board in 1947. The colliery was closed in April 2003 and demolished in 2007. The headstocks are regarded as the tallest in Europe and the third tallest in the world, are Grade 2 Listed structures and can be seen all over the district. They are nearly all but demolished with only two remaining (as shown here).
