Waggonway to Jane Pit and Walker Ironworks

A waggonway serving Jane Pit in Walker Colliery (HER 4200) sunk in 1790. The line ran north-east to staiths at Wincomblee via West Engine Pit. The line also extended south from Jane Pit, moving coal to Walker Ironworks, looping around the facility. The waggonway then ran from Jane Pit to West Engine Pit in Walker Colliery. Engine Pit was sunk 100 fathoms to the High Main Seam in 1766 (Turnbull 2009, 105), closely followed by the adjacent Anne Pit (HER 42007). A long branch was also extended to the north-west from the middle of this waggonway which served Delight and Gosforth pits (HER 4210).
