Ford Colliery, Ford - Northumberland (UA)
Monument including above and below ground remains of Ford Colliery. The colliery worked from at least the mid-C17 through to 1919. The site includes the engine house chimney which was repaired in 2008-9. A condition survey has been prepared for the engine house and pit head. A programme of archaeological recording and borehole investigations has informed the preparation of a full repair scheme, funded by Historic England. The repair scheme now needs to be implemented to enable public access to these structures.
