The Kiveton Park Coal Company was formed in 1864. In 1866-7 the pit was sunk. It took almost eighteen months for the Kiveton Park sinkers to reach the coal of the Barnsley Seam, 401 yards down. West Kiveton was part of Kiveton Park Colliery, its shafts were Kiveton No. 3 and No. 4, but West Kiveton had its own headgear and surface buildings, used for men and coal.
