Kiveton Park, South Yorkshire

Built in 1869 , the Old Colliery Offices were built to provide offices for the new Kiveton Park Colliery, but also served for a time as a school – the first in the village – before being taken over by the mining company. In return, the company agreed to build a new school on Station Road, which still stands today but is now the Community Youth Centre.

Taking on an almost sinister appearance at dusk, the Old Colliery Offices have a unique architectural style complete with Gothic clock tower, the clock itself still in possession of its original workings and still keeping correct time. Kiveton Park Colliery closed in 1994 and the offices are now all that remain of the pit, having been granted Grade II Listed status in October 1986.
