Description
"First shown on the 1858 OS as a single building with enclosures to the south-west, the pit was part of Joseph Cowen’s Blaydon Burn Colliery. The pit was taken over by Priestman Collieries c.1900 and vested with the National Coal Board Northern Division in 1947. It was closed in 1950." Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2012. -
