Harworth Colliery was a colliery near the town of Harworth Bircotes in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England.
It was abandoned in 2006 due to troubles at the seam. UK Coal, who owned and maintained the mine, were waiting for a contract to make it worth investing money to open up a new seam. Bassetlaw has at the moment no working pits; the nearest was Maltby Main Colliery in South Yorkshire which closed in 2013.
The mothballing of the pit in 2006[1] brought an end to 86 years of mining in Bassetlaw.
The area has since been redeveloped by Harworth Group for retail, industrial and residential.[2][3][4]
