Contemporary newspapers note Lowick Colliery was operated by a Mr Robert Wright, though little else is known about the gentleman. He likely sold the coal locally or to supplement his own operations.

The workings are first referenced in newspapers in 1866, when an advertisement was put up for sinkers to excavate the shaft of 20 fathoms - around 36 metres. The main site appears to be accompanied by a series of smaller pits and shafts along the road down to Nagup Dean.

By the 1897 they are all shown as disused.
