04/07/94 Coal Staithe at Wearmouth Colliery
II
Coal staithe. c1900 with later alteration. Brick piers and
platform facings; wood superstructure lost. 3 graduated sets
of tall, wide brick piers rise in 3 stages to support a
brick-faced platform extending from the high ground of
Wearmouth Colliery to a point high above the shore. Formerly a
wood superstructure on the platform supported railway lines
from which coal waggons could tip coal directly into ships'
holds. This is the last surviving coal staithe on the Wear,
where once each bank was lined by staithes from which the many
local collieries loaded ships. Included for historical
interest.
