The Stockerley House pit is visible on the mid 19th century Ordnance Survey map, but had entirely vanished bar the earthworks of the Crookhall Waggonway in the 1890s. For its time it was a fairly substantial working, linked by a single track line and featured a few ancillary buildings at ground level. There was a modest pit heap nearby a pit pond. Folk who worked here very likely commuted on foot from Leadgate, with the footpath visible from the pit all the way up to the village - the right of way sadly cut off by a main road today.

The working will likely have supplemented coal supplies for the Consett Iron Works, as Crookhall's later workings at Carr House and Humber Hill were owned by the Consett Iron Works themselves.

This specific pit had closed around the 1870s or 1880s.
