Hemingfield


Hemingfield or Elsecar Low Colliery was sunk circa 1842-3 for Earl Fitzwilliam to work the Barnsley Bed Coal Seam at a depth of about 117 yards. By 1846 production had reached some 1000 tons per day.
After the mine finally closed for winding coal in 1920 one of the shafts continued to be used as a water pumping station. Since then the original headgears have been replaced by concrete structures. This is the headgear on the upcast shaft.
