The last deep mine in the Burnley Coalfield, Hapton Valley
Colliery, closed in 1982 and with its demise went a comradeship and
companionship that few other industries have enjoyed. The Burnley
Coalfield covers an area from Colne through to Blackburn and
Darwen, Higham Village to the west and Worsthorne Moor to the east.
A number of pits in the Bacup area have also been included. Four
companies - John Hargreaves, George Hargreaves, Brooks & Pickip
and the Cliviger Coal Co. - dominated coalmining in the area and
between them sank the pits which many of the Burnley miners will,
even now, recall. Collieries of North East Lancashire is the story
of those pits, of those who sunk and financed them, and of those
who toiled, laboured, even perished, within their depths.
