New Stubbin Colliery.

This long gone colliery was sunk in 1913 at Greasbrough, near Rotherham.
It was owned by Earl Fitzwilliam, who wanted to replace the nearby old Low Stubbin Pit.
The first sod was cut on November 14th 1913, and the ceremony was carried out by Earl Fitzwilliam's son, Viscount Milton.
Coal from the mine was transported along Earl Fitzwilliam's private rail line to Parkgate, where there was a junction with the Great Central and Midland Railways.
The Low Stubbin Pit had worked the Barnsley seam, but the New Stubbin was sank to exploit the Parkgate seam.
The pit was sunk under the direction of Mr T. Newbould, who acted as General Manager for all of the Earl's mines. 
The Local Supervisors were: Mr E. Sorby & Mr A. Crowther.
At the height of it's production, New Stubbin employed 2,000 workmen.
