Malcolm Gollan, where it all started…..

Malcolm Gollan
Neil Mosley as the family would have seen it after arriving in 1886. Still probably seemed rather small to them compared to the northern coalfields they came from.

Wallsend mine was beside the railway line below the main road. There a poppet head wheel set in in concrete on the side of the main road.. A short track from there goes down the hill and yourll find a huge block of concrete sitting on top of the main shaft . It was vertical and 600 feet deep.
