Great cafe. Had a lovely panini. Staff really friendly and it's licensed too so a nice cold pint of cider went down well 🙂

The mine was first sunk in 1871 by the colliery owners Checkland and Williams to a depth of 205m (672 feet). In 1890 they deepened mine to 263m (863 feet).

Donisthorpe Colliery was originally 2 pits. The current No.1 Shaft was Donisthorpe Lower Pit and No.2 Shaft was Donisthorpe Upper Pit - both were worked by different Mining Companies !

In 1903 the mines came under the control of the newly formed Donisthorpe Colliery Company Ltd. (which later became part of the Moira Colliery Company combine). Over the next sixteen years the new company introduced a number of changes and improvements. These included installing electricity underground to replace steam and oil powered equipment, while on the surface a new generating plant, steel headframes, new winding gear and improved workshop facilities were built. The company also acquired 50 houses for mine employees and employed 90 horses and ponies underground.

As a result of these changes the mine output was tripled to 300,000 tons per annum.
