About
Parkfield Colliery was a coal mine near Pucklechurch, South Gloucestershire, England. It was sunk in 1851 under the ownership of Handel Cossham. Coal was reached in 1853. The shaft was 840 ft (260 m) deep, but only the upper series of coal veins were worked. These were the Hard, the Top, the Hollybush and Great veins. The quality of the coal mined was extremely good, and was used for gas manufacture and house coal.
