Also known as Fenham Colliery. North Elswick Pit was a venture by an offshoot business of Elswick Colliery, the North Elswick Coal Company Ltd. Coal was being produced by 4 December 1875 when an engineer called Clarence Thomas was appointed. The colliery was producing household and manufacturing grade coals by 1896. The colliery also manufactured fire bricks. The fourth edition ordnance survey map of 1940 shows the colliery as disused and the shaft as 'old'. The site was used as a builder's yard. Colliery buildings were demolished in 1994. In December 1994 a skip for bailing water out of the mine shaft was found on the Tyne Brewery site. It was restored at Beamish Museum. A lift cage was also discovered.
