Brookhouse shaft

Brookhouse shaft
Brookhouse Shaft was the main coal winding shaft for Brookhouse Colliery and was also the downcast shaft for fresh air to enter the mine. The upcast shaft (Beighton shaft) was unusually distant - about 3/4 mile away.

The mine was closed in the late 1980s. The land was opencasted to recover the shallow coal and then restored to make the Rother Valley Country Park.
