Kiveton Park Colliery

Kiveton Park Colliery war memorial is attached to an exterior wall of the Old Colliery Offices of the former Kiveton Park Colliery. It takes the form of a stone tablet with an arched head flanked by an ionic column on either side. It commemorates the employees of the colliery who died in World War I whose names are listed in two columns on the memorial.

In 2014, War Memorials Trust offered a grant of £1,050 through the Small Grants Scheme. The works included cleaning with an ammonium and sodium bicarbonate poultice, consolidation of localised areas of the surface using nano lime, re-pointing using lime mortar and re-leading missing lead lettering. The work was completed at the end of 2014.

The memorial was erected by the Kiveton Park Coal Company in memory of the 61 employees who lost their lives. It cost £400 and was unveiled in June 1921 by Mr W. E. Carrington, Deputy Chairman of the Kiveton Park Coal Co., in front of a large assembly including the relatives of those commemorated.

The inscription reads:

'Roll of Honour

In memory of the men
employed at Kiveton Park
Collieries who died in the
Great War 1914-1919
(Names)'
