Hatfield Colliery, also known as Hatfield Main Colliery, was a colliery in the South Yorkshire Coalfield, mining the High Hazel coal seam. The colliery was around 1 mile northwest of Hatfield, South Yorkshire, adjacent north of the railway line from Doncaster to Scunthorpe (former South Yorkshire Railway, or Barnsley to Barnetby Line) northeast of Hatfield and Stainforth railway station.
The colliery opened in 1916. The pit was stopped in 2001, and restarted 2007; the mine passed through a number of different owners in the early part of the 21st century, with subsequent operators entering receivership. During the same period the site was proposed as the location for high-technology coal burning power stations schemes which did not proceed.
In 2013 the major Doncaster-Thorne railway line which connected South Yorkshire to the Humber ports and Scunthorpe was blocked by a landslip at the colliery spoil for around 6 months.
From late 2013 the mine was employee owned by the 'Hatfield Colliery Partnership Limited'. Due to lack of demand for coal products the colliery shut down at the end of June 2015.
Hatfield Moors is very unusual place and the type of habitat that one would not associate with Britain. However, once upon a time habitats such as peatlands, bogs, heathland and mossland was much more common. They are a great place to visit and one that should not be forgotten.

South Yorkshire's National Nature Reserves (NNRs)
Humberhead Peatlands
The moors are remnants of wetland that occupied the floodplain of the Humberhead Levels thousands of years ago
Main habitats: peatland
Features of interest
The Humberhead Peatlands NNR comprises Thorne, Goole, and Crowle Moors, as well as Hatfield Moors and it represents the largest area of raised bog wilderness in lowland Britain at 2,887 hectares in size.
The site is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) for its habitat. and an internationally important breeding site for the nocturnal, insect-feeding nightjar which was responsible for the area being declared as a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the European Birds Directive.
A wide range of habitats supports the 5,000 species of plants and animals that have been recorded on the reserve of which more than 4000 are insects. There is also a sizable population of adders on the Moors.
More than 200 bird species have been recorded and approximately 75 have bred. Winter visitors include whooper swans, pink-footed geese and short-eared owls. From March-July a very special summer visitor is the diminutive woodlark and oystercatcher, lapwing, ringed plover and great crested grebe can be spotted around the lakes.

One of the last of three deep mines in the UK, Hatfield Colliery, closed in June 2015 with the loss of 430 jobs. Along with Kellingley in North Yorkshire and Thoresby in Nottinghamshire, Hatfiled was the last of the UK's deep seam mines. The two headstocks, now listed Grade II structures, were built as a pair in 1922.

Two photographs here that look to have been taken on the same day, given as July 1958, I think however it is probably July 1959 as 1958 pre dates the locos.
In this one we have Class 26 D5313 on a mixed freight at Hatfield.
The loco was new to Hornsey in February 1959 and had departed for Scotland before April 1960. I am not sure when the loco was withdrawn but it met its fate at Vic Berry's sometime in the 80's.

My second visit this week to the Humberhead national nature reserve at Hatfield in South Yorkshire..The boggy mire that makes up most of the reserve is one of the countrys rarest and most threatened habitats. Covering the equivalent of 3,000 football pitches, it takes a while to get to know your way around this site.
From memory this was a rather loud departure as 56114 negotiates the pointwork out of Hatfield Colliery with an MGR for the Aire Valley
After being held at Thorne Junction in complete darkness 56062 gives it the gun and shatters the peace chasing the sun passing Hatfield & Stainforth with the 6j47 Scunthorpe-Aldwarke steel.
Whatever else is unsure in this world,
the need for a father's protection is of paramount significance.
John Hatfield Cribb saved this daughter's life. Miss Laura Mae Cribb's account of these events can be read here
GIRL SAYS FATHER SAVED HER IN WRECK
Name: Mr John Hatfield Cribb
Age: 44 years
Last Residence: in Bournemouth Dorset England
Occupation: Butler
First Embarked: Southampton on Wednesday 10th April 1912
Ticket No. 371362 , £16 2s

Died in the sinking and John's body was not recovered.
Painting using acrylics, ink and graphite
On October, 31st 2008 I made a decision to dedicate a painting to every person and animal that perished in the sinking of RMS Titanic April, 15th 1912. This resulted in a great deal of research and becoming acquainted with many interesting people, who have supported my endeavours. I then realised that people had died during the building of this magnificent ship and decided to add them to my list. In total I painted 1,600 paintings.
Since 2012 I have been working extensively collating and dedicating each painting to each individual/animal that perished. As you can imagine this is a long process. I have produced a short video which features some of the works, accompanied by my own musical composition. I am presently working on a book to compliment this series.
♫ - Paintings and Music by Sophie Shapiro
"Sophie Shapiro's painting A Father's Love is a poignant tribute to John Hatfield Cribb, a 44-year-old butler from Bournemouth who perished in the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. Cribb's heroic act of saving his daughter, Laura Mae Cribb, during the disaster is the central theme of this artwork. Shapiro employs acrylics, ink, and graphite to convey the depth of this emotional narrative.
This piece is part of Shapiro's ambitious project, initiated on October 31, 2008, wherein she committed to creating a painting for every individual and animal who died in the Titanic tragedy. The endeavour expanded to include those who lost their lives during the ship's construction, culminating in a total of 1,600 paintings. Shapiro's dedication to this project underscores her commitment to memorialising these lives through art.
Shapiro's artistic approach is deeply influenced by her background in psychotherapy and her studies under Vera Diamond, a psychotherapist and founding member of the British Autogenic Society. Her work often explores the poetics of allegory, drawing from literary sources and spiritual themes to create visually engaging and emotionally resonant pieces. This fusion of art and therapeutic insight allows her to capture the profound human emotions associated with historical events like the Titanic disaster.
In A Father's Love, Shapiro not only honours the memory of John Hatfield Cribb but also invites viewers to reflect on themes of sacrifice, love, and the enduring impact of individual acts of heroism. The painting serves as a powerful reminder of the personal stories woven into the fabric of historical events."
