Wharncliffe Woodmoor Colliery was sunk in 1871 and worked until 1965. After that point it continued as a pumping station until 1988 (Gill 2007b). The site of the former mineral railways and spoil heaps is now under regeneration and has had significant numbers of trees planted. There is no legibility of the former strip enclosures that covered this area but significant legibility of the mine.
