HER Info

The Seaton Delaval relief pit is depicted and labelled on the Ordnance Survey map of 1898 (but not the 1865 edition). The site, which lay adjacent to the Seaton Delaval Colliery Railway, at that time comprised a shaft, reservoir, 3 buildings, a magazine and short wagon ways. The 1947 air photos suggest that the site had been abandoned by that time, though some structures were still extant. In 2016 the site was under trees.
