Description (or HER record listing)
NEHL - A coal shaft is illustrated in this location on the "Plan of Killingworth Moor in the Parish of Longbenton" by John Fryer, 1792. It is one of around a dozen dotted around the Willington and Benton Square waggonways on land owned by the Earl of Carlisle.
It is located around 50 metres south west of Scaffold Hill Quarry, and directly next to it is a small rectangular building. The shaft is not visible on any Ordnance Survey maps.
