Hi
I have seen an article re this colliery railway in the old "Railway
Magazine" some 30-40 years ago...there should be an index available .
Regards
John

Hello
Does anyone one have any information or currently researching the history of
the above colliery in particular the underground wagonway (Victoria Tunnel)
constructed 1839-42 to carry coal one and a half miles down to the Tyne and
used as an air raid shelter during WWII.
Many thanks
