Robin Hood Colliery a.k.a. Flimby Colliery.
Remains of tramway rope winding house at Robin Hood Pit / Anonymous, via Cumbrian Railway Association.

The Robin Hood Colliery in Flimby was in operation from 1855 to 1909. Wilson & Harris of Darlington sank the Robin Hood Pit (1) in Flimby in 1855.[1] At that time or at some later point operation began at a further pit, Robin Hood Pit (2). Sometime after 1867 this was connected via a tramway with Seatonmoor Colliery, located about 800 m south.[2] Operation at the first Robin Hood Pit ended on 14 Nov. 1908 and that at the second pit already in December of 1897 when the seam was found unworkable on account of faults. Robin Hood Pit 1 was located in Flimby and Seaton parishes, but Robin Hood Pit 2 in Flimby only.[3] As Seaton is south of Flimby, this would indicate that pit 2 was located north of pit 1, and the "Robin Hood Pit" indicated on the early 6" O.S. maps (see maps section below) would therefore have been Pit 2. I do not know the location and extent of pit 1, but it may have been close to Seatonmoor Colliery.
