Subscribe to my you tube channel for 200+ more coal mine tributes and counting. Horden Colliery was a coal mine situated in Horden, near Peterlee in County Durham.It opened in 1900 and was sadly closed on the 28th of February 1987. Initially owned by Horden Collieries Ltd, it was handed over to the National Coal Board in 1947 when the British coal industry was nationalised. On 9 May 1930, the colliery set a European record for the most coal mined by a single colliery in a day, with a total of 6,758 tonnes mined. This record stood for over thirty years. The colliery's peak employment numbers were reached in 1935 when 4,342 people were employed in the colliery.
