Clipstone Colliery dates from the 1920s and had some of the tallest headstock's in the country. In 1922 the shafts of Clipstone Colliery were sunk to exploit the Top Hard seam. In the 1950s the shafts were deepened to circa 920m deep to provide access to further seams. After being closed by British Coal in 1993, the colliery was reopened by RJB Mining in April 1994. (2)

Part of the colliery - Headstocks and Powerhouse at Clipstone Colliery (M17568) - is listed.
