In 1866, job started sinking a pit that started producing coal in 1869, as well as was after that called Boldon New Winning. The town that established nearby in the 1870s became known as Boldon Colliery. When the mine was grown as well as extended in the 1910s, more real estate to accommodate the workforce was built to the south of the pit in an area called Boldon New Town. Until 1974 the area was administered as a city district of County Durham, yet ever since has actually become part of the borough of South Tyneside.
