Boldon Colliery
The Boldons are a group of 3 little villages in the north east of England - East Boldon, West Boldon and also Boldon Colliery - north of Sunderland, eastern of Newcastle and also south of South Shields and Jarrow. They have a population of 13,271. Lying within the historic limits of County Durham, the villages are first recorded in print in 1170. Their names developed from words "Bold" or "Botl", suggesting a building, and also "dun", meaning a hillside. In 1866, work began sinking a pit that began creating coal in 1869, as well as was after that called Boldon New Winning. The village that developed close by in the 1870s became known as Boldon Colliery. When the mine was deepened and extended in the 1910s, further real estate to fit the workforce was developed to the south of the pit in an area known as Boldon New Town. Until 1974 the location was provided as a metropolitan area of County Durham, yet ever since has been part of the district of South Tyneside. In 1976, the Boldon Colliery Band showed up in episode 13 of the television collection When the Boat Comes In. The mine enclosed 1982 however more tasks became available when an Asda grocery store opened up in 1987. Current advancements consist of Boldon Business Park. Boldon Colliery also has its own multi-screen movie theater run by Cineworld. The main secondary school in the location is Boldon School, an expert sports university.
