The iron works were owned by Felling Chemical Works (Pattinson & Co & Bell Bros) (HER 3545). They were perhaps used to use the iron oxide residues left over when pyrites were burnt to produce sulphuric acid. The two blast furnaces were capable of making 140 tons of iron per week. There was also a battery of 91 coke ovens made from brick with iron doors. Had 2 furnaces in September 1868.

Opened 1779 and closed 1931. There were three pits - John Pit NZ 273 622, Venture Pit NZ 228 627 and William Pit. The colliery was opened by Charles Brandling. It was subsequently owned by Messrs John and William Brandling, Henderson and Grace. In the 1850s it was owned by Messrs Carr, Potts & Co, then Carr & Co, then Elliott & Co, then Sir George Elliott, Bart. In 1883 John Bowes and Partners LTD bought the mine. This is one of the oldest collieries in what was County Durham. Coal was first wrought in Felling Manor in the seventeenth century. Boring operations in Felling started in 1758. In 1840 a borehole was sunk from the Low Main seam at John Pit to the Beaumont seam. In 1842 the High Main seam was abandoned and tubbed off at Tyne Main Colliery. The owners of Felling, Walker, Wallsend, Willington and Heaton Collieries all then contributed to the running cost of the large pumping engine at Friar's Goose (HER 1019) which prevented water passing into the dip. In 1849 the engine raised 1170 gallons of water a minute. On 24 (leaflet on colliery disasters says 25th) May 1812, an explosion killed 92 people. The explosion travelled right through the mine and erupted from both John and William Pit shafts. Rev. John Hodgson of Felling wrote a pamphlet about the event and as a result the Society for Preventing Accidents in Coal Mines was formed at Sunderland. Sir Humphrey Davy and George Stephenson came up with designs of safety lamps in 1815. There is a memorial in St Mary's Churchyard, Heworth. On 24 December 1813 22 miners were killed, another 6 in an explosion on 23 October 1821 and another 6 on 22 January 1847. In 1894, Whellan reports that the colliery employed 685 men and boys.
