  • Former Colliery Spoil Heap, Hesleden, Durham
    Planning Services COMMITTEE REPORT APPLICATION DETAILS APPLICATION NO: DM/14/00519/MIN Reclamation of former colliery spoil mound to extract coal FULL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: spoil, reprofiling of mound on completion of works and landscaping works. NAME OF APPLICANT: Hargreaves Surface Mining Ltd ADDRESS: Former Colliery Spoil Heap, Hesleden, Durham ELECTORAL DIVISION: Blackhalls Chris Shields, Senior Planning Officer CASE OFFICER: 03000 261394, [email protected] DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND PROPOSALS The Site 1. The village of Hesleden is located south of the B1281 Road between the A19 to the west and the A1086 Road to the east. The former Castle Eden Colliery and associated spoil heap lie adjacent to the village, immediately south of the Haswell to Hart Railway Path, now part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network. This was once a mineral railway line serving various collieries in East Durham and finally closed in 1980. The site is on the northern edge of Hesleden Dene, which links with Nesbitt Dene to become Crimdon Dene, on the northern outskirts of Hartlepool. 2. The village of Castle Eden lies approximately 1 kilometre to the west; the A19 is approximately 1 kilometre further west again and the settlement of Blackhall Rocks lies three kilometres to the north east. 3. The application site is accessed via Gray Avenue, which in turn, leads to the B1281 Road. At the corner of Gray Avenue, where it becomes Front Street, an unmetalled track leads to the site. This track, which forms part of Footpath No.24 (Monk Hesleden Parish), also serves a number of smallholdings, allotments and associated buildings in different ownerships in close proximity to the site.

  • Northern Saints Trails the Way of Love Durham to Hartlepool
    Northern Saints Trails The Way of Love Durham to Hartlepool Introduction This guide describes the pilgrimage route between Durham Cathedral and St Hilda’s Church in Hartlepool. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 45.5 kilometres or 28 miles. The route is divided into four sections of between 9 and 15 kilometres. The sections are in reverse order from 4 to 1 as they were originally allocated from east to west. Points of interest are described in red. One of the reasons that this route is called The Way of Love is that pilgrimage, particularly in the Middle Ages, was viewed as an act of devotion. One of the most famous pilgrimages to Durham was that of King Canute about a thousand years ago. He is recorded as walking barefoot from near the Trimdons to Durham. The church in Kelloe is dedicated to St Helen who was one of the initiators of pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Two other churches at Hart and Trimdon are dedicated to St Mary Magdalene who was known for her great devotion to Christ. St Hilda of Hartlepool was also known for her great devotion to God. Adding the fact that the cathedral is dedicated not just to St Cuthbert, but also to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we can say that this route has a distinctly feminine flavour! If you had been walking this route in the Middle Ages, and you encountered someone carrying a cross walking to Hartlepool, he would most likely be a fugitive.

  • The Way of Love Is That Pilgrimage, Particularly in the Middle Ages, Was Viewed As an Act of Devotion
    Introduction This guide describes the pilgrimage route between St Hilda’s Church in Hartlepool and Durham Cathedral. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 45.5 kilometres or 28 miles. The route is divided into four sections of between 9 and 15 kilometres. Points of interest are described in red. This pilgrimage route, along with the Ways of Life, Light and Learning, all lead to the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. One of the reasons that this route is called The Way of Love is that pilgrimage, particularly in the Middle Ages, was viewed as an act of devotion. One of the most famous pilgrimages to Durham was that of King Canute about a thousand years ago. He is recorded as walking barefoot along the latter part of this route. The church in Kelloe is dedicated to St Helen who was one of the initiators of pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Two other churches at Hart and Trimdon are dedicated to St Mary Magdalene who was known for her great devotion to Christ. St Hilda of Hartlepool was also known for her great devotion to God. Adding the fact that the cathedral is dedicated not just to St Cuthbert, but also to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we can say that this route has a distinctly feminine flavour! Hartlepool was the official port for the County Palatine of Durham, so it is likely that any devotees of St Cuthbert from the continent would have taken this route. If they had met anyone carrying a cross walking in the opposite direc- tion, he would most likely be a fugitive.

At Warden Law, alongside the Seaton to Houghton road, there are two tumuli or prehistoric burial mounds, each surmounted with a crown of trees, an eerie sight in the moonlight. Between them runs Salter’s Lane, an ancient highway, the A19 of its day, which carries on to Haswell, Wingate and Teesside. There are other tumuli in Easington district and the Castle Eden Vase and other prehistoric artefacts confirm that man has been here for many thousands of years. Fertile soil and the ready availability of fish and shellfish must have made this land an attractive proposition to early humans. Much later Easington district was incorporated in the Roman Empire along with the rest of England but there are no visible signs in the district of this long lost civilisation.

  • Easington Cycleways
    Introduction Seaham Seaham A unique partnership came together as a Millennium Project to enhance the East Durham Coast in the District of Easington. The ‘Turning The Tide’ project has improved (9 miles) Approx. 15 kms the environment of what was once the East Seaham Durham Coalfield and helped the mining communities to create a new image. Seaham (10.2 miles) (17.5 miles) Approx. 17 kms Suggested circuits Approx. 29 kms There has been a gradual transition in the area, (11/12 miles) from the environmental damage caused by the Approx. 18/20 kms coal industry to the recreation of wildlife habitats and visitor facilities we see today. Dalton Le Dale This cycle routes map/guide is part of the Murton transition process and shows how the conversion South Hetton South Hetton from ‘rails to trails’ can benefit local people, as Silksworth well as visitors, who wish to walk and cycle or, Seaham where appropriate, travel on horseback around Cyclists outing (Martin Avery) the East Durham countryside.

  • Site Name: Hart to Haswell Walkway
    Site Name: Hart to Haswell Walkway. Location: The entrance is on Ocean Road and Hartville Road, Hart Station, Hartlepool. Description: This former railway line has been converted to a traffic free walkway through peaceful countryside for pedestrians and cyclists, linking up to Monk Hesleden, Castle Eden, south to Wynyard Woodland Park, and north as far as Sunderland. Its total length is 9 miles, terminating at Haswell, but only the first mile lies within Hartlepool. This section is a Local Nature Reserve and offers a mixed variety of habitats including ponds, woodlands and magnesian limestone grassland. The site is a haven for many species of animals including birds such as owls and woodpeckers. In summer many species of butterfly including the speckled wood, common blue and dingy skipper frequent the specially created wildflower glades. In winter the deep valley sides provide perfect shelter from the harsh elements. History of site: The site follows the course of a former railway line designed by George Stephenson, built in 1835 to carry coal from the Durham coalfields to the newly opened docks in West Hartlepool. The line declined when the new east coast route was built and eventually closed in 1980. Disabled Access/Facilities: The one mile section of the Hart to Haswell Walkway which lies within Hartlepool is a surfaced track, with only one moderate incline towards the boundary with Easington. The entrance has a wheelchair friendly ‘A’ frame gate. There is also a bench a short distance from the boundary. Status: Local Nature Reserve. Site of Nature Conservation Interest. Grid Reference: NZ484 363 Size: 9.78 hectares.

  • 39173 RLS Coastal Memories a History of the Blackhalls and Hesleden
    Heritage Coast Sunderland Durham Hartlepool CapturingCoastalMemories A history of the Blackhalls and Hesleden By Blackhall Colliery Primary, Hesleden Primary and St Joseph’s RC Primary, Blackhall Peterlee Horden A19 Durham Coast National Castle Eden Dene Blackhall Colliery Nature National Nature Reserve Reserve Castle Eden Blackhall Rocks Hesleden High Hesleden Crimdon Monk Hesleden Hesleden Dene Walkway Hutton Henry A19 Hart The Blackhalls and Hesleden has an interesting past. A lot of what is here, how the place looks and how people live has been shaped by the coal mining industry that was here for many years. This is what we found out about our local area when we started to investigate. Caitlyn Castle Eden Colliery, 1900 Hesleden Station Mines and the railways Mining is a really big thing in our local area. There were pits in Blackhall and Castle Eden as well as in other local villages such as Wingate and Horden. Because of the mines we had lots of railway lines, they were mainly used to transport coal but it did mean we had a local train and local train stations. In Hesleden the place where the train station was can still be seen today. Mining in Blackhall goes back a lot longer than we thought. Back in the 18th century there was a lead mine in the area before coal mines were even around. Blackhall Colliery Facing South, 1929 The Beach at Blackhall Rocks, 1930 On the beach Our beach used to be mainly used for mining and because of that it was black with coal. There were aerial lifts and the cliffs were used for shoots for the waste.
