Abstract

In June 1997, a team of archaeologists from Lancaster University Archaeological Unit
excavated an area of the now disused colliery at Bank Yard Road, Parton, near
Whitehaven, Cumbria. The work was funded by Cumbria County Council in advance
of a scheme of protective landscaping. The colliery was founded in 1827, in the first
years of its operation being known as "Parton Drift Mine". The colliery continued to
function until around 1863, after which oral evidence suggests the colliery buildings
were adapted into a brickworks.
