Maltby Main Colliery

[1] Before nationalisation the owners were given as Amalgamated Denaby Collieries Ltd.[3] An explosion in the pit occurred 28 July 1923, resulting in 27 deaths.

[4][5] A single unidentified body was recovered from the pit and buried in the local graveyard as The Unknown Miner.

The colliery was mass picketed during the 1984–1985 miners' strike during attempts by contractors to carry out building work at the pit.

In 2007 Maltby Colliery was sold by UK Coal to Hargreaves Services plc for £21.5 million, resulting in the continued employment of 500 people.

[9] In late 2012 the 540 employees were given redundancies notices, and the pit owner announced it was to mothball the colliery due to dangerous underground conditions.
