Compilation 23: Bagworth Colliery - Mining history video

Bagworth Colliery was the last coal mine in Leicestershire and closed in February 1991, after 166 years of production. This is a record of a day spent with the miners in the various surface buildings, including the tally office, lamp room, pithead, engine houses, computer control room, changing rooms, baths and the canteen.

Coal production from Bagworth is shown where it reaches the surface at nearby Nailstone Colliery via an underground link and 1:4 drift.
