Description: | Victoria Garesfield Colliery opened in the 1860s. It consisted of three drift mines - the Coronation Drift, the Speculation Drift and the Hookergate Drift - plus two remote access drifts - the Ashtree Drift and the Rickless Drift. Coal from the drifts was processed in the Screens shown in this image and then conveyed to Whinfield Cokeworks from conversion to coke. The colliery closed in 1962. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Railways Coal Industry | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
