The Hulton Colliery Company was a coal mining company operating on the Lancashire Coalfield from the mid 19th century in Over Hulton and Westhoughton, then in the historic county of Lancashire, England.

The Hulton Colliery Company was a coal mining company based in the North West of England. Founded in 1790, it was one of the earliest coal mining companies in the country. The company mined coal from the coal seams of the Manchester Coalfield, producing coal for the local and national market.

The company was founded by the Hulton family, who had been involved in the coal industry since the early 1700s. They established the company in order to produce coal for the local market, and to take advantage of the increasing demand for coal in the industrial revolution.

At its peak, the Hulton Colliery Company employed over 1,000 people and produced over 2 million tons of coal per year. The company operated several coal mines in the area, including the Hulton Colliery, which was the largest and deepest coal mine in the country. The company also had a number of other coal mines in the area, including the Worsley Colliery, the Manchester Colliery, and the Oldham Colliery.

The Hulton Colliery Company was a major employer in the region, and provided employment for many local people. The company also made a significant contribution to the local economy, providing jobs and income for the local people.

The Hulton Colliery Company closed in 1969, due to the decline of the coal industry in the UK. The company's mines were gradually closed down, and the last mine, the Oldham Colliery, closed in 1971.

Today, the Hulton Colliery Company is remembered as one of the earliest and most successful coal mining companies in the UK. The company's legacy can still be seen in the local area, with many of the buildings and structures associated with the company still standing. The Hulton Colliery Company is also remembered for its contribution to the local economy, and for providing employment for many local people.
