 The colliery's screens and surface buildings were modernised in the early 1890s and No 3 and No 4 shafts were sunk to 700 yards to the Trencherbone mine in 1894 and worked an area to the south of the Pendleton Fault.The fault to the north, with a displacement of 695 metres to the northeast, formed a natural boundary to the colliery.The colliery was located close (less than a mile) from Clifton Hall Colliery (Lumns Lane, Clifton).
