The Silverhill Colliery's iconic pit wheels were found in a council depot
The iconic pit wheels from a former Nottinghamshire coal mine have been returned to their rightful home after 30 years of being left "rusting away." A group of ex-miners who used to work at Ashfield's Silverhill Colliery came together a few years ago, determined to discover where the mine's pit wheels were.
Out of work for six months when the pits closed, Mr Batterham eventually found a job at a paint factory in Kirkby before an old mining injury "came back to haunt" him. Such impacts left by a career in the pits are among the reasons why Mr Batterham says the industry cannot be forgotten. The Silverhill Colliery stopped production in 1992 and officially closed a year later, having first been sunk in 1875 by the Stanton Ironworks Company. At its peak, the pit employed 1,300 miners and produced one million tonnes of coal a year.
Although the group raised over £13,000, it wasn't quite enough to achieve their ambition. Craig Gould, the managing director of the Make Consulting company, stepped in with a company donation of around £50,000.
