Description: | The Ballast Hills were man-made features made of discarded ship's ballast, which was usually loose stone. The unwanted ballast material was stored and transported here by a small railway, one of which ran from near St. Hilda's Colliery. Stone ballast came into disuse when ships began to have use water ballast, which could be pumped in or out as required. | Format: | IMAGE/JPEG | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | South Tyneside Libraries | Subjects: | Industry | Source: | South Tyneside Images | Identifier: | http://www.southtynesideimages.org.uk/fr... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | IMAGE/JPEG | Go to resource |
