Woolley Colliery is a village which lies on the border between the Barnsley and Wakefield districts in Yorkshire. The village itself is in South Yorkshire whilst the former colliery is situated in West Yorkshire. The NUM leader, Arthur Scargill, started work at the colliery in 1953 aged 14. The main mine began as a pair of tunnels dug into the hillside in the Barnsley bed seam. As time went on, vertical shafts were sunk to reach the deeper seams. In the 1960s there were three shafts in the pit yard and a fourth, for extra ventilation, about a mile to the east. At that time around 17,000 tons of high quality coal were produced each week. After the 1984-5 miners strike, the men from North Gawber colliery were also transferred to Woolley. The pit finally closed in 1987. Member of the P.B.F.A. MINING & GEOLOGY.
