caption_attribution_description: English: Harworth Colliery Mothballed by UK Coal in 2006, Harworth Pit could be resurrected as coal prices soar, making it economically viable again
context_page_description: Harworth Colliery was a coal mine in the Bassetlaw area of north Nottinghamshire.
  It was abandoned in 2006 due to troubles at the seam. UK Coal, who owned and maintained the mine, were waiting for a contract to make it worth investing money to open up a new seam. Bassetlaw has at the moment no working pits; the nearest was Maltby Main Colliery in South Yorkshire which closed in 2013.
  The mothballing of the pit in 2006 brought an end to 86 years of mining in Bassetlaw.
