Description: | The first shaft at the Wearmouth Colliery was sunk in 1826, but it was not until 1834 that a major seam was reached. By 1846 the shaft was the deepest in the country, reaching a depth of 480 metres. It is now the site of Sunderland Football Club's Stadium of Light. | Subjects: | Transport (Water) Colliery Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Thomas, R | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
