The headgear at Clipstone Colliery, Nottinghamshire, 1963. Artist: Michael Walters

The headgear at Clipstone Colliery, Nottinghamshire, 1963. The original shafts of Clipstone Colliery in Mansfield were sunk in 1922 to give access to the top hard seam. In the 1950s the shafts were deepened to their current 920m depth to provide access to other seams. After its closure by British Coal in 1993, the colliery was reopened under the control of RJB Mining in April 1994 until it again ceased operations in 2003 after producing a further four million tonnes of coal.
