About Fencing in Mexborough

Mexborough in South Yorkshire remained a small village until the 18th century, when the arrival of the Don Navigation brought new trade to the town and set the stage for the industries that would shape it over the following two centuries. Coal mining had been recorded in the area as far back as the 13th century, but it grew into a major local industry during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with pits including Denaby Main Colliery and Cadeby Colliery sunk in the surrounding district. Alongside coal, Mexborough became known for glassmaking, with two established works operating by the late 19th century, the Don Works, formerly known as the Mexborough Flint Glass Works, and the New Don Works, built in 1891 and 1892 and fitted with an advanced regenerative furnace used mainly to mass produce Codd bottles for carbonated drinks. Both the coal and glass industries that built the town went into decline in the later 20th century, with the last collieries closing in the 1980s.
