The memorial, a sculpture in the shape of a mining cage, was designed by local artist and former miner Harry Malkin.
During the official dedication ceremony the names of all those killed at the pit were read out.
The £30,000 needed to build the memorial was gathered through fundraising efforts.
The sculpture shows four different mining-related themes on the sides of a cage that has just emerged at the surface from an imaginary shaft.
