Site Western No 1 Deep Coal Mine has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • It was the first deep mine constructed by Western Collieries in Collie.
Historic Site
The Western No 1 Mine commenced in 1952, producing 341,174 tonnes of coal before it closed in 1958. The entrance was originally located on Pump Road, west of Collie. The Western No 1 Mine Entrance is now located in Phoenix Park on the corner of Throssell Street and Patterson Street in Collie. It was relocated on 22 November 1999 ‘to serve as a testament to all the men and women who worked in the coal mining industry’. Further investigations are required to determine its exact location, at which point its level of significance may be reconsidered.
