Earsdon

Earsdon is a village in the borough of North Tyneside in the county of Tyne and Wear, England.

It sits on the border of Northumberland, which it is historically part of, and is approximately two miles from Whitley Bay.

[5] The graveyard of St Alban's Anglican church is home to a memorial to the 204 men and boys killed in the Hartley Colliery disaster of 1862, at the nearby village of New Hartley.

There is a disused coal mine works a short distance from the village, including the Fenwick Heap.

After closure, the heap spontaneously combusted underground and was burning internally until work started to reclaim the land.
