Boldon Colliery
The Boldons are a team of three small towns in the north eastern of England - East Boldon, West Boldon and also Boldon Colliery - north of Sunderland, east of Newcastle and also southern of South Shields as well as Jarrow. They have a population of 13,271. Existing within the historical limits of County Durham, the villages are first recorded in print in 1170. Their names progressed from words "Bold" or "Botl", meaning a structure, as well as "dun", implying a hillside. In 1866, work began sinking a pit that started creating coal in 1869, as well as was then called Boldon New Winning. The village that developed nearby in the 1870s came to be known as Boldon Colliery. When the mine was deepened and prolonged in the 1910s, more real estate to suit the workforce was constructed to the south of the pit in an area referred to as Boldon New Town. Until 1974 the location was administered as an urban district of County Durham, yet since then has become part of the borough 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 closed in 1982 but more jobs appeared when an Asda grocery store opened up in 1987. Current developments consist of Boldon Business Park. Boldon Colliery likewise has its very own multi-screen cinema operated by Cineworld. The primary secondary school in the area is Boldon School, a professional sports university.
