The name of this old lane is a reminder of the mining activities of former years. The track partly follows the route of a former wooden waggonway used to take coal from the mines along the ridge of Hedley Fell north then north-east to the River Tyne at Stella near Blaydon http://sites.google.com/site/waggonways/nz/05/nz0560
