Peacock or Careful Colliery - any info?

PEAK DISTRICT MINES HISTORICAL SOCIETY LTD.


In their list of mines 1898 Peacock Colliery is shown as being owned by the Peacock Colliery Co. Ltd, Ilkeston.

The manager was WFL Wilson, and the Undermanager James Knighton Jnr.

There were 8 working below ground and 2 on the surface. The Waterloo Seam was the only seam being worked.


The colliery was very short-lived, being in production for only 5 or 6 years,and beset throughout by water problems. It closed shortly after the above date.
