Industrial estate built on the site of Mitchell Main Colliery. The colliery was built in 1871 and remained working until 1956. After this it was owned by the Mines Drainage Unit until 1988 (Gill 2007b). The colliery was built right next to the Dearne and Dove Canal, which opened in 1804 (Glister 1995, 118), but their were also significant railway lines associate with transporting coal from the colliery. The mine was built on an area of piecemeal enclosure of uncertain date. This land may have been within the townfields of Wombwell. There is no legibility of the enclosed landscape but the industrial estate retains the external boundaries of the associated railway lines so legibility of the colliery is partial.
