Retro: A look back at Clipstone Colliery in its heyday

As the Clipstone Headstocks Museum prepares to open to the public, we are looking back at the colliery during its heyday through 12 fantastic photos.

Clipstone Colliery was a coal mine that first opened in 1922 and operated until 2003.

Clipstone Headstocks Museum, on Mansfield Road, is operated by the Nottinghamshire Mining Heritage Centre CIC and aims to celebrate the area's rich industrial heritage.

In 2020, Stuart Mills purchased the site and began redeveloping it into a visitor attraction and museum.

These photos showcase the mine at the height of its mining glory.
