History and Industrial RevolutionEdit
Bircotes was founded in the 1920s, with the discovery of coal during the First World War and the establishment of Harworth Colliery (which has since closed), to provide homes for miners. It was home to one of the last deep-mine pits in the UK. <ref> Cite Web: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/4696171.stm |Deep coal mine to end production|BBC News| 19/07/2005|access date 9 May 2025</ref>
