Rossington colliery to close, 224 jobs to go.

Multi-million pound losses have forced the closure of a South Yorkshire coal
mine after 90 years of production.
UK Coal, Britain's biggest coal producer, closed its site at Rossington,
near Doncaster, on Friday. The company said £20m was needed to open up more
reserves at the pit, but it could not finance the investment.
UK Coal announced last year that production at Rossington would cease, as
its half-yearly losses reached £30.6m. About 80 miners have left since then
and most of the remaining 224 workers are expected to stay to recover
equipment.
Rossington, which opened in 1915, was closed by British Coal in 1993 but was
reopened the following year, since when it has produced 8.4 million tonnes
of coal for industrial, domestic and power station use.
The Rossington closure leaves just seven deep mines in the whole of the UK.
UK Coal has six other pits, while the seventh is in Tower in south Wales.
