Eden Colliery once fed the industry around Consett, and nearly everything from the site was flattened when the pit closed in 1980.

As today marks the 145th anniversary of the 1880 Seaham Colliery disaster, we are highlighting an object in our collection that commemorates this tragic event. This inkwell, fashioned from the hoof of a pit pony who sadly died in the Seaham Colliery explosion on September 8 1880, stands as a haunting memorial.
