Bernard,
Oxclose Colliery, in Birchin Lane, Ossett near Wakefield. Sinking began in
1873 under Whitworth & Co., which became Ossett Flockton Coal Co. in 1877.
Sinking/development was completed in 1878, but the company disappeared in
1881 as did the colliery.
Bailey Hill Colliery Ltd (operated 1890) – not in Yorkshire.
Rotherham, Masbro', and Holmes Coal Co. Ltd worked Holmes Colliery at
Rotherham and was incorporated in 1856. It often went by the name of
Masborough Coal Co. I believe there was a Cornish pumping engine house on
this site until the 1970s (it might still be there?).
