It went into production in July 1965.[1] Located in Bevercotes to the north of Ollerton, the colliery was, alongside Cotgrave Colliery, one of two new collieries opened in the county of Nottinghamshire in the 1960s.[2] The colliery was closed in 1993 and turned into a nature reserve.[3] Miners' strike 1984-5During the UK miners' strike (1984–85), Bevercotes Colliery voted approximately two-to-one against strike action in a ballot held on 15-16 March 1984.[4] During the strike, Chris Butcher, a miner from Bevercotes Colliery, became well known as 'Silver Birch' who was funded by the Daily Mail to travel around the UK actively opposing the strike; he was also involved in organising legal action to block the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), who were running the strike.[5] In October 1985, Bevercotes miners voted to leave the NUM in favour of the Union of Democratic Mineworkers by 782 votes out of 1,372 cast (57%).[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=U.K: World's First Remotely Controlled Mine Opened at Retford, England -- Push-Button Colliery Will Produce 6,000 Tons of Coal a Day |url=http://www.itnsource.com/shotlist//RTV/1965/07/10/BGY505260570/?s=colliery|website=www.itnsource.com|publisher=ITN|accessdate=17 December 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=The coal industry in Nottinghamshire > Overview|url=http://www.nottsheritagegateway.org.uk/themes/coal.htm|website=www.nottsheritagegateway.org.uk|publisher=Nottinghamshire Heritage Gateway|accessdate=17 December 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Edgar|first1=Gordon|title=Bevercotes Colliery|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/12a_kingmoor_klickr/20909768390|website=Flickr|publisher=Flickr|accessdate=17 December 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|last1=David|first1=Amos|title=The Nottinghamshire miners, the Union of Democratic Mineworkers and the 1984-85 miners strike: scabs or scapegoats?|url=http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14091/1/575419.pdf|website=University of Nottingham repository|publisher=University of Nottingham|accessdate=19 December 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Maguire|first1=Kevin|title=No regrets from key players in dispute|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2004/mar/01/uk.tradeunions|website=The Guardian|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=17 December 2016|date=29 February 2004}} 1 : Coal mines in Nottinghamshire |
