New Hartley history

---

New Hartley is historically linked to nearby Hartley village, which was originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement. A number of pits were created and exhausted at Hartley, before a new pit called Hester was sunk in 1845.

Hartley Colliery Disaster

The New Hartley Pit Disaster occurred on 16 January 1862, it was during the change from the fore-shift to the back-shift when nearly all of the two shifts were still down the pit. The beam of the pumping engine that kept the pit clear of water broke in two and 20 tons of cast iron plunged down the shaft. It took several days of heroic effort by rescue teams to reach the entombed men and boys – all to no avail as all were dead.
