Site of Blackhall Colliery
The main shaft was sunk in 1909 and the first coal produced in 1913. The geological conditions were difficult with water saturated strata and flooding. Blackhall became the final phase of the Durham Coalfield reaching out under the sea for approximately 3 miles and it was one of the most advanced collieries of the region. colliery from 1978 onwards. In 1981, Blackhall ceased production, 732 men were transferred to other collieries and 586 accepted redundancy. The colliery was finally closed and demolished in 1986. Much of the land was landscaped and converted into a business park. The topsoil is thin here on the layers of compacted waste and the planted trees have taken some time to become established.

Steam locomotive at Blackhall Colliery ? 1966
Taken from a passing train.
The locomotive (unidentified) is one of the 'Austerity' type saddle tanks of which the NCB purchased considerable numbers, either second-hand from the Ministry of Defence or as post-war new build. The rather antique semaphore signal is typical of survivors on the more extensive colliery networks, which often had a rudimentary signalling system.

Looking inland along this steep sided little valley, the far end of which rises even more steeply to the site of the former colliery, the waste from which still blocks the head of the gill.
