Sutty Row Colliery
« on: Thursday 18 September 08 23:45 BST (UK) »
I am interested in Sutty Row Colliery which was in the Birtley/Gunnerton area of Northumberland.
I have checked on one of the Mining Sites and I think it closed in the 70's and has now been landscaped so that here is no trace of it.
I would be interested to know if anyone has any old photos of it or knows of a web site where there might be some.  I have done a search but haven't found anything.
My great  grandparents lived in Sutty Row which my mother has said were just a few wooden houses.  She used to visit them in the late 1940's/early 1950s.
Thank you

Sutty Row Colliery closed in 1973. If you go to http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm and do a search on the co-ordinates 390500, 577524  it will centre the map on the site of the colliery, you can then look at the earlier historic maps of the area.
It is such a small mine I doubt if you will find any photographs. It does not appear to have employed more than 18 people, and only 9 when it closed.

Thanks once again Stan.
I didn't know it was such a small colliery.
My great grandfather would have worked there as he lived in the Pit Cottages.
I suppose if there are any records they would be at Woodhorn perhaps?

Hi Andrea,
Using Access to Archives http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ there do not appear to be any records in the archives.
