Also known as Maltby Main Colliery, Maltby was first sunk in 1910. Over the years, the colliery has been owned by a number of companies including the Maltby Main Colliery Company, Amalgamated Denaby Collieries Ltd, the National Coal Board, RJB Mining, and Hargreaves Services plc. The pit finally closed in 2013 after over 100 years of coal production.
