NEHL - The East Pit was The Taylor's second or third pit in the area, situated just off the main lane between Lesbury and Shilbottle. It was fairly modest with coal transported with horses rather than via rail, though the pit did operate its own smithy here. The shaft was on the west side of the site. The lane adjacent to the pit is still in use, and the roadside still expands to the previous route before it claimed part of the colliery site.
