Hamsteels Colliery (1867 - 1958)


Hamsteels Colliery and Coke Ovens, between Quebec and Esh Winning in County Durham. The colliery was founded in 1867 by Messrs. R. S. Johnson and T. M. Reay. By 1986 there were 618 men and boys working at the drift mines and pits of Hamsteels Colliery (419 working below ground, 199 on the surface). At its peak of employment in 1914, 917 were employed (683 working below ground, 234 on the surface).[1] A small, rectangular colliery village was built to the north-west, and a number of coke ovens stood to the south of the colliery.[2] Hamsteels Colliery closed in 1958.[3]
