Spoil heap and railway lines associated with the colliery. East Gawber Hall Colliery was sunk in 1854 by Robert Craik & Co. and was connected via railway to Barnsley Canal in 1858. By 1870 a new railway line had been built between Applehaigh and Stairfoot that the colliery utilised. (Goodchild 1998, 58-61). The mine changed hands more than once and finally closed in 1931 (Gill 2007b). The site has now been landscaped but significant legibility of the mine remains. There is no legibility of the probable assarted woodland that previously characterised this area.
