About Houghall
Coal was mined from the Hutton seam in Houghall from 1840 and a colliery village built during the 1860s. The village was demolished in the 1950s and the area was landscaped and turned over to picturesque woodland. In 2009 heavy rain caused the River Wear to carve a massive trench through the grounds of the college, some 14 feet deep and 80 feet wide.
