Schofield Hall Colliery coke ovens


Schofield Hall Colliery was served by a drift or 'Breast-Eye' as they are known locally. There are also a number of shafts in the nearby woods. It was operating before 1850 and in 1853 was owned by James Fielding and John Whittle. The 1851 OS map shows the coke ovens and a tramroad running from the drift. H & L Newall were owners in 1861 and it is likely that the ovens went out of use by 1870. James Howard ran a very small operation here in the 1890s but by 1908 the colliery is listed as discontinued.
There are remains of four beehive coke ovens on the site. As is usual with similar ovens in the area the stone facings have been robbed, leaving the backs of the ovens to slowly deteriorate.
