The hotel served both the community (which had grown greatly in the 19th century after the colliery was opened) and railway travellers, for it stands near where the pre-Beeching station was.
Houses for the colliers were built around the pit which dominated their lives.
A farmer in the Neath valley who had moved to Merthyr, and had worked as a haulier and later a collier, he ran the Six Bells public house and brewery. In 1862 he opened the Six Bells coal level.
This is coal mining country, and despite all the 1980s and 1990s pit closures and the grassed- over slag heaps that dot west Nottinghamshire, Harworth still has its colliery.
To the right, a lorry is just visible, loading the coal from the Baggeridge Colliery yard.
Taken from Winney Hill, this photograph looks over Harthill in the northerly direction of Kiveton Park collieries.
The school was nearby and the children could see the memorial from the school yard, and workmen going to Bearpark Colliery passed it on their way to work every day.
in that period massive pits surrounded Altofts, and the Church of St Mary Magdalene (1890) has a window memorial to the 32 men and boys (and 53 horses) killed in the explosion at the West Riding Colliery
The Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway brought cheap coal for the textile trade from 1863, passing Shaw`s own Jubilee Colliery.

Cudworth was never a pit village, although it is surrounded by collieries at Monk Bretton (opened in 1870), Carlton (1879), Grimethorpe (1897), Frickley (1905) and Ferrymoor (1917).
The old mine was sunk in 1752, with the New Colliery in operation from September 1795. All around were subsidiary trades, such as iron and coal tar.
Kippax Colliery near Owl Wood flourished between 1858 and 1904, but it was the nearby pits of Allerton Bywater (1875-1992) and Ledston Luck (1909-1987) that transformed the village into the town
