Stargate

Although Stargate Colliery (HER 3319) was sunk c.1800, the village itself was not built until late in the 19th century after the pit was acquired by the Stella Coal Company. The houses themselves likely date to c. 1870-1880 as they are first depicted on the second edition Ordnance Survey (surveyed 1894-1895, published 1898), but this would set it as broadly contemporary with the Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1877 and the Brickworks (HER 8501) established in 1874.
