Pemberton House Colliery was situated between Heskin and Charnock Richard and owned by the firm of James Barker and Co. Locally it was known as "Barker's Pit". In 1896 it employed 84 men underground. It was one of the last collieries in the country to bring coal to the surface in baskets rather than metal tubs. It had closed by 1928.
