From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baggeridge Colliery was a colliery located in Sedgley, Central England.
[edit] Black Country Pit
It was opened in 1899 during the height of the local area's Industrial Revolution, and on its closure in 1968 was the last remaining pit in the Black Country.
The site of the colliery is now the home of local brickmakers Baggeridge Brick.
[edit] Baggeridge Country Park
The former coalfields are now the site of Baggeridge Country Park, landscaped with a lake, wooded areas and walkways.
