I believe the answer to this is St John's, which was owned
prior to nationalisation by Locke & Co (Newland) Ltd.
It closed in Jinee 1973, although there was a coal preparation
plant there until 1980.

Can anyone tell me by whatever other name (if any) Newland Colliery,
Normanton, West Yorks. was once known by? When did this pit close?
