Barrow Colliery was a coal mine in Worsborough, South Yorkshire, England.

[2] The company had purchased land in 1872 next to a former mine, Worsborough Park Colliery, that had been abandoned.

[3] The mine operated for 109 years with a pause in production during the UK miners' strike.

1 was 15 feet (4.6 m) in diameter and 410 yards (370 m) deep which produced coal from the Parkgate and Thorncliffe seams.

[7] Whilst cage accidents were commonplace in mines, many coroner's inquests recorded accidental death as their outcomes; in the case of Barrow, two men who were operating the cage, were found guilty of "great carelessness and negligence, [but] not criminal negligence".

When they reached the gates of Barrow, a flying picket demonstration with miners from the Kent Coalfield, were still protesting, so the procession turned back.

[12] A local brass band that had started up in 1906 had its ranks swelled by members of the mining community from Barrow Colliery.
