For much of the 20th century Grimethorpe's economy was rooted in coal mining. Since the 1984–85 miners' strike, the downscaling of UK coal mining greatly accelerated and international cheap Open-pit mining provoked closure of its colliery in May 1993. In 1994 it was regarded as the poorest village in Britain.
