Tranent history
The name is thought to be of Brythonic origin, possibly containing the elements Tre and Nant, meaning town over the stream Travernant. Tranent was once an important mining town, and coal was first worked there in the thirteenth century. The town possesses the oldest coal-mining charter (1202–1218) in Great Britain.
Industry
Coal was first mined in Tranent Parish when Robert de Quincy granted rights in the early-thirteenth century to the monks of Newbattle to mine at Prestoungrange. Longniddry, St. Germains, Fa’side, Ormiston and Elphinstone had their collieries and for the next 750 years, the industry prospered. The last large deep mine closed in 1961, then in 2000, the opencast mine at Blindwells closed.
