I think the following Durham coalfield collieries (at least) are recorded as
having worked the "Beaumont" seam, aka the Harvey - except in the case of Emma
Colliery, where it was otherwise known as the Townley seam:
Boldon, South Shields
Brusselton [Drift]
Byers Green, Spennymoor
Coxhoe Colliery (aka Joint Stocks, Coxhoe, aka Coxhoe Colliery [joint stocks])
Derwent Crook Colliery, Low Fell/Gateshead
Dunston, Garesfield (aka Dunston & Elswick)
East Tanfield, nr. Tantobie, Stanley
Hebburn, Hebburn-on-Tyne
Heworth, Gateshead
Low Moor, Gateshead
Newfield, Willington
Ravensworth, Lamesley, nr. Birtley (aka Team or Teams, aka Ravensworth Betty
Col’y, aka Ravensworth Shop Col’y, Ravensworth Ann Col’y)
Springwell, nr. Eighton Banks, nr. Wreckenton, Gateshead (aka Mount Moor
Colliery)
Thornley (aka New Thornley)
Thornley, Emma, Ryton
