Hetton-le-Hole history
The name of Hetton-le-Hole derives from two Anglo-Saxon words which were spelt together “Heppedune”, meaning Bramble Hill. The name was adopted by a local landowning family, the le Hepdons, who owned part of the Manor. The ancient manor, which was bounded by that of Elemore, was divided into two parts.
Coal mining
By 1896, Hetton-le-Hole was a mining village in its own right. Coal has been mined in the surrounding area since Roman times. Coal was then obtained by drift mining, but by the 14th century shafts were used. In 1819 the Hettton Coal Company was formed and its first shaft was sunk a year later. Heton Colliery closed in 1950, Elemore Colliery in 1974 and Eppleton in 1986. The decommissioned St Nicholas’ Church was destroyed by fire in November 2006.
