Jubilee colliery was founded in 1845 to gain access to the Mountain Mine coal seam 325 feet (99 metres) below the surface. Originally owned by the Edge Lane and Dryclough Colliery Company, it was bought in 1883 by Platt Brothers & Co. The production of coke became a significant aspect of Jubilee Colliery following the success of an initial battery of ovens placed against the eastern retaining wall in the southern part of the site. A battery of 26 double, back-to-back ovens was subsequently erected immediately to the north of a presumably contemporary boiler house in the 1880s, with a further extension of similar size to the north in the early twentieth century. Another battery of single ovens was also built along the eastern retaining wall in the northern part of the site, which was partially extended between 1909 and 1930 into a double bank.The remains of a number of back to back coke ovens can still be viewed above the ground at Jubilee Colliery. Jubilee Colliery closed in 1932.
