Kiveton Park Colliery, South Yourshire, England. During the Miners strike of 1984 and 1985 Photographs show Miners returning to work crossing picket lines set up by striking miners of the NUM. Kiveton Park Colliery was a coal mine in the village of Kiveton Park, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. In 1928 an amalgamation took place between Kiveton Park and Sherwood Collieries and in 1944 they were taken over by the United Steel Companies. The mining industry was nationalised in 1947. The Barnsley seam was worked out in 1970, after just over 100 years of providing coal from its reserves.
