Situated between Bacup, Burnley and Water.
Just a small colliery which appears on the original OS map as a small coal pit probably used by the local farmers to obtain coal for their own use as stipulated on their leases. By 1851 it was working on a commercial scale from a drift on the Bacup-Burnley Road and was possibly run by the Cliviger Coal Company who held the lease for that area; The pit officially was in the boundaries of Cliviger.
Only short lived the pit was worked out by 1862 and by the size of it there must only have been a small number of men. Interestingly a small patch near the crop edge was worked in 1892.
