Other collieries are West Shieldrow colliery (Margaret Pit) with wagonway; Beamish Colliery (Mary and Ann pits). Other features include Joicey's Square, St Andrew's church, Victoria Theatre, Shieldrow Hall, quarries. On the reverse we include a section of adjacent sheet 12.10 extending coverage south to include the rest of Front Street, and down South Moor Lane, including Poplar Street. Features include South Moor Colliery (Old and New Louisa Pits), with Hedley Tramway; West Stanley Colliery; Stanley Hall, NER Pontop & South Shields Branch.
