Welcome to Boldon Colliery

Boldon Colliery is a small village located in the metropolitan borough of South Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England. The village was established in the 19th century as a coal mining community, and the Boldon Colliery pit was one of the largest in the region. The village was built around the pit, and many of the houses were owned by the mining company. The pit closed in 1982, and the village has since diversified its economy.

Today, Boldon Colliery is a residential area with a population of around 5,000 people. The village has a range of amenities, including shops, pubs, and restaurants. There is also a community centre, a library, and a primary school. The village is well-connected to the surrounding areas, with good transport links to Newcastle, Sunderland, and South Shields.

Despite the closure of the pit, Boldon Colliery has retained its sense of community. The village has a strong sporting tradition, with football and cricket teams, and there are also several community groups and events throughout the year. The village is surrounded by green spaces, including Boldon Flats and Cleadon Hills, which provide opportunities for walking and cycling. Overall, Boldon Colliery is a friendly and welcoming village with a rich history and a bright future.
