Barnburgh Main Colliery was sunk in 1911 and closed in 1989 (Gill 2007b). The site now appears to be in the process of re landscaping. The colliery was built on an area of former open town fields associated with Barnburgh in Doncaster. These were enclosed as part of the 1822 Barnburgh enclosure award (date from English 1985). There is no legibility of these enclosures.
