Kellingley Colliery is one of the newest of the few deep coal mines left in Britain today. It is situated at Beal in North Yorkshire, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Knottingley in West Yorkshire, on the A645, although the postal address is Knottingley, West Yorkshire, and 3.6 miles (5.8 km) east of Ferrybridge power station. The siting was mainly influenced by the close proximity of road, rail and canal routes. The workings extend into West Yorkshire. The colliery is owned and operated by UK Coal.
