Residents may have noticed that the Pit Wheel Memorial on Station Road was recently painted. The paint had peeled and the memorial appeared neglected.
The regular maintenance of the memorial is extremely important and demonstrates to people visiting the village that the community values the memories of the miners who worked in the mines and in particular the men who lost their lives.

Although the mine closed in 1975, we are committed to retaining our heritage and history wherever possible to preserve the customs and traditions of the mining communities.
North Tyneside Council’s Waggonway’s team completed the work on behalf the local community and we wish to convey our appreciation to Neil Hodgson and his dedicated team.
Mr Iain Bell, North Tyneside Council’s Member Services help was invaluable and we sincerely appreciate his support.
