NEHL - Abbot's Close Colliery was a timid affair, unconnected to any railway and fairly isolated between any of the more significant complexes. Previous to the site becoming a coal working it was a clay pit. The pit is shown on 1890s maps as two buildings surrounded by a drift and old shaft. There is also a waste heap shown on the west of the site.

Though the wood plantation is in situ, there are no clear remains of the working.
