Annesley Colliery was sunk between 1865 and 1867 by the Worswick family from Leicestershire. In 1924 the New Hucknall Colliery Company bought the colliery and invested much needed capital. In January 1947 Annesley became part of the National Coal Board. In January 1999 it was announced that Midlands Mining PLC was intending to close the colliery. The last shift was completed Friday 28th January 2000. Annesley Colliery and its associated village was declared a Conservation Area in 1999 in acknowledgement that the village represented a near intact mining community.There are now plans to demolish what remains and build housing on the site. This proposal has the support of the local council and residents :thumbd

Stopped off here with Boothy on the way home from Clipstone. Was good to see whats left before it goes!
