The Sayre Colliery was an anthracite mining facility located in Mount Carmel Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, within the Western Middle Anthracite Field. Operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, it was named in honor of Robert H. Sayre, who served as vice president and chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The colliery extracted coal from the Mammoth Vein via a deep vertical shaft sunk north of the earlier Mount Carmel Colliery workings. Deep mining operations continued until approximately 1930, when the Lehigh Valley Coal Company ceased operations across its Western Middle Field properties amid declining coal prices during the Great Depression.
