Hickleton Main Colliery was found the Barnsley coal seam in 1894. The development of Thursncoe into the overgrown village it now is began then. However, the colliery closed in 1994, leaving behind buildings, engineering and a waste heap.

Eventually, it became a small industrial estate, a community woodland and Phoenix Park. The woodland and park are managed by the Forestry Commission [External Link].
