Clarkes' Colliery.

 

 

Situated on Robert Arkwright’s land at Calow, this colliery working the Ashgate and Blackshale seams. The plans for the colliery are dated May 6th 184? and were drawn

up for the Arkwright‟s by J. Richardson of Chesterfield. The colliery was abandoned in 1873. At an area near to SK 47/57 41427129 there are shown two shafts and a New

Engine Shaft. One can presume this colliery was working prior to the plan being drawn up. There are also two more shafts at 41407120 and another at 41357130.
