AdminHistory | Bold Colliery was sunk in 1876 and went into production in 1880. At one period in its early history, the colliery was owned by the Collins Green Colliery Company. It closed in the 1930s and then reopened under the ownership of Sutton Heath and Lea Green Collieries Company Limited. After the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act of 1946, the colliery was transferred to public ownership under the management of the National Coal Board. |
Acquisition | This collection was deposited during the few weeks prior and after the official closure of Bold Colliery (15 Mar 1986). |
