NEHL - The Seghill pit commenced operations 200 years ago as of 2024 and continued to be worked by the Carr family - whose name is supplanted across this region. It was a major working, with the settlement of Seghill expanded to suit the needs of the colliery. It was connected to the Blyth & Tyne Railway via a small branch from Blaketown, connected to the two separate Engine and John shafts working adjacent. There were two seperate reservoirs where pumped out water was help, and a great pit heap on the eastern side.

The earliest dwellings, the Pit Row stood directly south though these have been cleared. It featured a smithy, though greater development was found in what's now Seghill. Modest and cramped rows were founded by the 1850s around Seghill Tower and the station, accompanying a couple of Methodist chapels, a national school and a post office. Modern Seghill is seldom recognisable as is the pit site apart from the pit heap which has been landscaped and forested over today.

The pit operated into nationalisation until 1962. The 1000+ workers were relocated to nearby pits.

This is the site of a 19th century colliery. It is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map published in 1865. The site also had a brickworks which used mined fireclay to produce the likes of firebricks and other sanitary wares. The mined coal would be used to fuel the many kilns on the site.
