Description: | Stargate Colliery was one of a group of collieries in the Ryton area owned by the Stella Coal Company. Here we see a miner moving a coal tub through one of the narrow seams. Stargate Colliery opened in 1803 and closed in 1963. A memorial to 38 miners from Stargate Colliery who were killed in an explosion in 1826 can be found in Holy Cross Churchyard at Ryton. | 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: | Coal Industry | Temporal: | name=1950s; start=1950; end=1959; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
