Annesley Colliery is located just outside the villages of Annesley and Newstead in Nottinghamshire. It was originally sunk in 1864 into the Top Hard seam by the Worswick family, who were originally from Leicestershire

The Top Hard seam was mined for at least 50 years until the shaft was extended down to the Deep Hard seam in 1914. This was worked until 1950. At some point during this time the Deep Soft seam was opened and worked until 1983.
