Murton, County Durham history

---

The discovery of coal beneath the fields of East Durham in the 19th century transformed the tiny hamlet of Morton into the thriving township of Murton. Miners flocked to Murton from across County Durham and Northumberland in the early years, with people later uprooting from Devon, Cornwall and Ireland too. Despite high productivity and a loyal workforce, the decision was taken to close the pit in 1991.
