Pleasley Pit Trust

Pleasley Pit Trust Pleasley Colliery was sunk in the 1870s and produced coal until 1983. It is now a heritage site run by the Trust Ltd. and the other in 1922 by Markham & Co.

Prior to nationalisation in 1946 it was owned by the Stanton Ironworks Company which had leased the mineral rights in 1872 from the father of Florence Nightingale, the lord of the manor of Pleasley at that time. By some miracle it escaped complete demolition after closure and it still retains its headstocks, engine-houses and steam winders, one of which was installed in 1904 by Lilleshall Co. Pl

easley Colliery is now a scheduled Ancient Monument and is in the process of being developed into a mining heritage site. The engine-house roofs and the chimney have been renovated and the winders are in the process of being restored by members of the Friends of Pleasley Pit preservation group
