Subject: Spital Tongues (Leazes Main) Colliery - Newcastle upon Tyne
Catherine - I have a copy of the eight-page , A5 size leaflet, that was
produced by the Tyne and Wear Industrial Monuments Trust that gives a very
good description and maps of the tunnel.
Part of the tunnel has been used by Northumbrian water as a sewer to replace
the aged Pandon Sewer.
