Resources- Wallsend Residents 1901

 

Wallsend

coop wallsnedOf the colliery townships around Newcastle, the most important is undoubtedly Wallsend, the scene of the operations of one of the wealthiest coal mining corporations in Australia, the Newcastle and Wallsend Company, whose colliery employs nearly seven hundred men and boys, and whose output is frequently over three thousand tons of coal a day. The seam dips from the outcrop to a depth of about  three hundred feet. There are three  pits on the estate, but the greater part of the coal is drawn from a tunnel put in at the outcrop.

In respect to population, Wallsend ranks as more than a mere suburb, three thousand being the estimated number of its inhabitants. It possesses a school of arts and various churches, and property to the ratable value of nearly three hundred thousand pounds per annum. Its importance as a mining centre may be gauged from the fact of its being ranked in the same class as the largest collieries of England.”
