Clifton Hall Colliery
Lancashire, United Kingdom
Clifton Hall Colliery was one of two coal mines in Clifton (the other was Wet Earth Colliery), and was notorious for an explosion in 1885 which killed around 178 men and boys. The colliery, owned by Andrew Knowles and Sons, was located in the Irwell Valley, just off Lumns Lane and had extensive railway sidings on the London and North Western Railway's Clifton Branch. It was connected to the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal by a ¼-mile long tramway.
