Blackhall Colliery (1909 - 1981)
Blackhall Colliery was sunk in 1909 by Horden Collieries Ltd., the company which owned the nearby Horden Colliery. Blackhall Colliery began drawing coal in 1914 and was producing 3,350 tons per day by 1929. The colliery had 2 shafts, both of 193 fathoms in depth, and 3 coal seams of 2 to 6 ft in thickness. An aerial ropeway, as at Horden, delivered the refuse into the sea. At its height 2,492 people were employed at Blackhall Colliery in 1950.[1] The Colliery closed on the 16th of April 1981, bringing great hardship to the village of Blackhall Colliery.
