Industrial archaeology, Cockshot Dene, West Wylam
Entrance to a blocked level of West Wylam Colliery shown in process of archaeological excavation. A mechanical digger and some hard work revealed much more at the entrance Image
West Wylam Colliery was worked primarily from drifts and excavation suggests that this drift was used for ventilation with mounting of a large fan at the entrance.
The path (above left) leads to a brick and massive masonry built building which appears to have housed one of the colliery engines.

North entrance to Cockshot Dene
In the 1890s, the footpath to the right was the line of a cable-hauled railway which served the West Wylam Colliery. The bridleway which is just to the left Image and runs parallel to the former railway was a lane which provided access to the colliery, mainly situated behind the photographer. The road on the right is a more recent development providing a connection between West Wylam and the A695 Princess Way.

Low Prudhoe Industrial Estate, Princess Way
The industrial estate was formerly the site of the West Wylam Colliery and ICI Chemical Works. The latter was responsible for the Spetchells, hills of chalk dumped as industrial waste north of the railway line (visible behind, to the right). New industry has taken their place. Prudhoe Mill, a paper works and warehouse, operated by SCA Hygiene are on the left. In the centre is Thompsons of Prudhoe, demolition experts, currently removing Gateshead's 'Get Carter' car park.
