Description: Half a pitwheel emerging from the field, the other half is buried beneath ground level. There is a plaque on the ground by the wheel. Commission: To commemorate a mining accident, 6th August 1936, in which 58 men were killed. [1] Harry Dancer, Chairman of Barnsley MBC's Development and Planning Committee, initiated this scheme which was accepted by this committee on 31 August 1978 and cost £950, approved on 29 September 1978. It was part of reclamation of the Wharncliffe Woodmoor Colliery site on which the monument stands. The contractors, Pugh-Lewis, were based in Chesterfield. The memorial was unveiled by Arthur Scargill, then President of the Yorkshire NUM, in the presence of Roy Mason, MP for Barnsley, and Cllr Dancer.
