Wideopen history
The village is present on an 1860s Ordnance Survey map as ‘Wide Open’ The village name is nowadays written as one word in widespread use. The alternative form is still occasionally found on maps and elsewhere. This leads to an inconsistency in contemporary addresses.
Wideopen Colliery
The pit shafts for the colliery were sunk and opened by Perkins and Thackrah in 1825. The colliery produced its first coal in May 1827. The coal was transported by the Fawdon Wagonway to Scotswood.
Sacred Heart Church
To the south of the village is the 19th-century Sacred Heart RC Church, a Grade II listed building notable for its stained glass windows. Other churches in Wideopen are St Columba’s, the Anglican parish church, and St John’s URC church.
