Former entrance to Edward Pit and Tar Tunnel
The disused entrance to an earlier coal mine was reused around 1900 by Priestman Collieries as the entrance to the tar tunnel. This was a transportation tunnel connecting the tar works at Ottovale, on the east side of the valley, with the railway to the Tyne below. When the Ottovale works closed in the late 1950s the tunnel was disused and the entrance bricked up.
