- Harworth is an area and former civil parish, now in the parish of Harworth Bircotes (with Bircotes) in the Bassetlaw district in Nottinghamshire, England, on the border with South Yorkshire.It is 8 miles (13 km) north of Worksop. The population of the civil parish of Harworth Bircotes was 7,948 in the 2011 Census.
The Harworth coal mine opened in 1921 and produced coal for the power stations on the River Trent. A new pit tower was built in 1989 when the pit was at its peak of production but seven years later the colliery was 'mothballed'. In 2015, it was announced that the pit tower would be demolished and the colliery site would be redeveloped for housing which has since been completed. The former freight line and sidings into the colliery have been lifted and left undeveloped. The local football team is called Harworth Colliery F.C.
In 1961 the parish had a population of 8289.] On 1 April 1974 the parish was split; part stayed in Nottinghamshire, being renamed "Harworth Bircotes", part was added to neighbouring Bawtry in South Yorkshire.
The town's name is from Old English har "grey" (compare modern hoary") and worth (also worō, worþ) "enclosure". Harworth was recorded in the Domesday Book as Hareworde.
The town - once a busy coalmining community - is particularly noteworthy as the home of Tom Simpson (1937-1967), one of Britain's greatest road racing cyclists, the World Champion in 1965. Simpson began his cycling career as a club member at Harworth and District Cycling Club. After his death on Mont Ventoux during the 1967 Tour de France, his body was brought back to Nottinghamshire and interred in Harworth's cemetery. A small museum dedicated to Simpson's achievements was opened in August 2001 and can be found in the Harworth and Bircotes sports and social club.
There is also a history of Gurkhas being here during the Second World War.
