About
Beech Tree Colliery was one of a number of coal mining collieries in the Cradley Heath area and one of the most southerly on the South Staffordshire coalfield. The shafts were sunk in 1873, although very little, if any mining, took place prior to 1921. The Colliery is located on Foxcote Lane, Cradley Heath, close to its junction with Oldnall Road. It has also been known as Foxcote Colliery and Pig Lane Pit. It finally closed in 1958.
