| AdminHistory | Brodsworth Main Colliery was located at Pickburn, Doncaster. Brodsworth Main Colliery Company Limited was formed to sink the colliery which was jointly financed by the Staveley Coal and Iron Company and the Hickleton Main Colliery Company with a capital of £300,000.
The first sod was cut in 1905 and Nos. 1 and 2 shafts were sunk in 1907 to the Barnsley seam. In 1920 these shafts were deepened to the Parkgate seam and in 1923 a third shaft was sunk to the Barnsley seam. The Parkgate seam was closed in 1927 but reopened in 1935.
Brodsworth Main Colliery Company Limited later became part of Doncaster Amalgamated Collieries Limited.
