Havannah Drift Mine
Havannah Drift Mine, located to the west of Hazelrigg, was opened in February 1950 by the National Coal Board (N.C.B.). By 1970 there were 870 people employed at the mine (753 working below ground and 117 working on the surface).[1] By June 1976 coal reserves were low and the operation encountered geological problems, laeding to the mine being closed in March 1977.[2] The site has been landscaped and now the Havannah and Three Hills Nature Reserve.
