Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Agecroft Colliery was a coalmine on the Manchester Coalfield in the Agecroft district of Pendlebury that first opened in 1844 in the historic county of Lancashire, England. It exploited the coal seams of the Middle Coal Measures of the Manchester Coalfield. The colliery had two spells of use; the first was between 1844 and 1932. The pit was sunk by Andrew Knowles and Sons and worked an area to the south of the Pendleton Fault. The fault to the north, with a displacement of 695 metres to the northeast, formed a natural boundary to the colliery. In 1896 Agecroft Nos. 1 & 2 Collieries employed 371 underground and 111 surface workers while Agecroft Nos. 3 & 4 employed 15 underground and 39 on the surface.
