Manchester Collieries was a coal mining company formed in 1929 from a group of independent companies operating on the Manchester Coalfield. The Mining Industries Act of 1925 attempted to stem the post war decline in coal mining and encourage independent companies to merge in order to modernise and better survive the economic conditions of the day. Robert Burrows of the Atherton company Fletcher Burrows proposed a merger of several independent companies operating to the west of Manchester. The merger was agreed and took place in March 1929.
