About Fencing in Stanley
Stanley in County Durham grew from a handful of farms into a bustling industrial town during the first half of the nineteenth century, after rich deposits of high grade coking coal were discovered nearby and the Joicey family sank the first pit in the area. The town suffered one of the worst mining disasters in British history at nearby West Stanley Colliery in February 1909, when an explosion killed over 160 men and boys, a tragedy still remembered locally.
