Lynemouth Colliery was a coal mine in Lynemouth, Northumberland, England. It was in operation between 1927 and 1994.[1] According to Historic England, "it was one of Britain's largest collieries until it was closed due to an underground fire".[2] The colliery was demolished in 2005.
Its number 1 pit was the downcast, and its number 2 was the upcast.[1]
In 1960, the mine employed 1,734 people (1,390 above ground, 344 below).[1]
