Rufford Colliery was a coal mine located near Rainworth, a village in Nottinghamshire, England.[1] Its first shafts were sunk in 1911.[2] In February 1913, fourteen workers at the mine died when a water barrel "containing some tons of water was precipitated down the shaft on to some men who were working at the bottom" of one of shafts.[3] The mine was operated by Bolsover Colliery Company from 1915 to 1946, the National Coal Board from 1947 to 1987, and the British Coal Corporation from 1987 to 1993.[1] The mine ceased operation in 1993.[4]
