About Fencing in Wingate
Wingate in County Durham grew up around Wingate Grange Colliery, sunk in 1839 and reaching its highest employment of 1,486 workers by 1914, though the pit was also the site of a serious explosion in October 1906 that claimed the lives of 26 miners. The colliery reopened after a period of closure during the 1930s recession, employing over 1,400 people again by 1940, before finally closing in October 1962 with the loss of nearly 700 jobs.
