The North-Sastern coal-field was for many hundreds of years the major coal-producing area of Britain. Compared with other parts of the country where coal was worked, it had three great advantages - that the coal outcropped and was thus easily won, that the rivers in the valleys where the outcrops were mostly to be found were navigable, and that the coal could easily be trans• ported to London, by far Britain's largest market. In the days when the only means of moving large quantities of goods was by water, especially by sea, the coal-owners of Northumberland and Durham established a dominance of the British coal industry which was never surpassed and only slowly eroded by other areas. Although archaeological evidence has shown that the Romans used coal in County Durham (though only on a very small scale), and although there are a few references to the use of coal in the Boldon Book of 1086, the coal outcrops would not seem to have been worked to any great extent until the thirteenth century, when the monasteries, especially the Priory of Tynemouth, developed a considerable trade. During this period and for many years after• wards coal was obtained by the "bell-pit" method - shallow pits in the ground excavated in the shape of a bell and anything up to thirty feet deep. When the excavation had attained such a size that the sides threatened to collapse it was abandoned and a new one begun. Most of the bell pits were situated in the Tyne valley, -iii- where much of the evidence has been destroyed by later develop• ment, though recent aerial photography has provided conclusive evidence of bell pit -workings on the Town Moor at Newcastle. The demand for coal in the Tyne and Wear valleys was very much geared to the requirements of the London market. As these increased the coal-owners were compelled to seek coal further inland, and eventually to sink shafts to obtain it* These deeper workings created new problems, not the least of which was drainage. It would seem that the industry reached a critical state by the early 1700fs, and was only saved from disaster by the invention of Newcomen's pumping engine. The installation of the first of these in the North-East cannot be dated with certainty, but it seems likely to have been in 1715 at Tanfield Lea. This provides a striking example of the extent to which the industry had spread from the rivers by that time, as this village lies about eight miles south-west of Gateshead. Other Newcomen engines were built in the North, and these enabled large areas which had previously been considered unworkable to be brought into production. One problem which the coal-owners of the eighteenth century had to face was that of transport. There was little point in sinking a pit eight miles from the Tyne if there were great diffic• ulties in transporting its coal to the river. Here the geography of County Durham proved an advantage. The highest area of the county lies in the west, and the land slopes towards both the sea -iv- in the east and the Tyne valley in the north. This meant that to reach the river loads of coal would travel downhill, and so horse and cart could be employed. The cart was allowed to travel by gravity where possible, and the horse was used to haul it back from the river to the pit. From this it was a short step to the construction of wooden waggonways, the first of which was the famous Tanfield waggonway, built in 1727 from the Tanfield area to the Tyne. Thus waggonways, with iron rails after 1770, were well established in Durham long before Brindley designed and built the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal in 1769. Indeed, the development of canals scarcely affected the North-Sast. The severe grades of West Durham would have demanded long flights of locks, causing delays; while, a comparison of the cost of building a canal and a waggonway could have left the coal-owners with only one choice. By 1800 the transport pattern of Durham was firmly established; a considerable net-work of waggonways brought coal down to be trans• shipped at "staithes" on the river banks, where small sailing ships, known as "keels", holding about 21 tons, took the coal downstream to the colliers moored at Newcastle or Sunderland. Mast of the coal-owners possessed only one pit, very often leased from the Church; but in 1726 a group of the most powerful coal-owners in North-Sast England formsd themselves into what became known as "The Grand Alliance". In view of its importance, both in relation to the industry in general and the early history of John Bowes & Partners, this deserves more detailed study. The -v- agreement was signed on 27th June 1726 between Sidney Wortley, Edward Wortley and Thomas Ord (all of Newcastle) for the first part, Sir Henry Liddell and George Liddell (of Ravensworth, near Gateshead) for the second part, George Bowes (of Gibside, near Gateshead) for the third part and William Cotesworth (of Newcastle) for the fourth part. The agreement was dated to run for 99 years from 11th November 1726, but by this date William Cotesworth had died, so his share was divided among the others. It has been thought in the past that the agreement arose out of difficulties in obtaining wayleaves (l) for waggonways to the Tyne (2), but this would seem unlikely. A more authoritative view was put forward by Sweezy in 1938: ".....The intent (of the agreement) is clear. The various signatory parties were joining hands to prevent the opening of new collieries by buying up lands, royalties and wayleaves. Any coal property which they could not directly get hold of they proposed to block off from an outlet to the river." (3) Even more important, Sweezy quotes evidence to show that the "Allies" from the first probably intended to regulate both prices (1) If he wished to build a waggonway, a coal owner came to an agreement with the owner of the land over which it was to pass under which the former rented the land and also agreed to a charge on the amount of coal or other goods which passed over the land in question. This was known as a "wayleave" agreement. (2) cf. LEE, C.E. "The World's Oldest Railway." Newcomen Society Transactions, XXV (1946). (3) SWEEZI, P.M. Monopoly and Competition in the English Coal Trade. Harvard: Harvard University Press, 1938, p.24. -vi• and output. All of the important sea-sale collieries, whether owned by one of the "Grand Allies" or not, were allocated an out• put quota, and such was the "Allies" dominance of the industry that the owners of other collieries were compelled to agree or face ruthless undercutting of prices, which was employed at least once with complete success (l).

It had been in constant service, except while undergoing slight repairs, since May, 1874, on the Morris & Essex division of the D., L. & W. R. R. It was rebuilt under the direction of the master mechanic of the division, and was stayed in an extraordinary manner, having over fifty sling stays from the arch of the wagon top to the crown bars of the furnace, arranged in four rows, set as near radial to the arch as prac- ticable, Figs. 1 and 2. There were also hori- zontal cross stays from side to side of the shell between the crown bars, one to about every 5£ inches, and the crown bars were spaced the same distance apart, and consisted each of two broad parallel bars seated edgewise on the edge of the side plates of the furnaces and^ecured to the crown sheet by bolts, washers, and gibbs in the usual manner.

  • 3.0 Project Pipeline
    3.0 Project Pipeline Following the workshop the project proposals were summarised into a pipeline. This was shared with all attendees for comments and further input and then reviewed by the North East LNP Natural Environment Group and other LNP representatives. The following summary provides an overview of project potential and likelihood of development. It is clear from this that there are potential landscape projects in the pipeline until 2019. Beyond this there is significant potential for further delivery, however the majority of these projects are currently at an outline stage and would require significant work to move towards delivery. This pipeline will be reviewed annually by the 3 North East LNPs to ensure that it remains a current overview of landscape delivery potential and allow partners to focus and align resources to ensure that there is the best approach taken to achieve delivery. It is anticipated that during this process, some projects will be discounted from the pipeline as delivery is unachievable whilst new ideas may be added as new opportunities are presented.

  • The Thoroughbred and the Swan: Aristocracy and Progress Towards
    XX The Thoroughbred and the Swan: Aristocracy and progress towards wives' equality with their husbands in the mid- nineteenth century. DAVID DARBYSHIRE The thoroughbred horse 'West Australian' and Cox's silver automaton swan were brilliant icons of the nineteenth century, the former bred and raced by an English nobleman and the latter purchased by his French actress wife as part of her endowment for the museum that she had begun to build close to their home and her husband's stud in County Durham in northern England. Their relations as a married couple illustrate a tipping point in laws and social attitudes governing marriage and in progress towards the equality of the sexes. This article considers their lives in the context of contemporary English and French society. est Australian' was a living artefact and Cox's silver swan was a mechanical creation, jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjboth reflecting the highest levels of human ingenuity.
