'By the 2nd edition of the Ordnance Survey map in 1898, immediately west of Annfield Plain there are the South Derwent Colliery and Willie Pit. Towards the east, South Moor Colliery has been extended and connected by the Morrison Pit Wagonway to South Tanfield Colliery, which has been enlarged, at Oxhill. By the 3rd edition in 1921, the Pontop coke ovens are described as disused. South Tanfield Colliery, and its coke ovens, are also disused.'
