Worsbrough Park Colliery was worked from 1855 to 1872 and had a fairly small impact on the surrounding fields. In 1873 Barrow Colliery opened. This polygon is the extent of the mine in 1893. It has since been subsumed by the modern mine workings which extended across a large area. The mine ceased production in 1985 and the mine workings have since been removed but legibility of the site is significant as spoil heaps remain (Gill 2007b). This was previously an area of strip fields (Anon 1806) that would have been enclosed from the medieval town fields of Worsbrough. There is no legibility of this beneath the spoil heaps.
