High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radcliffe is a settlement in the county of Northumberland, England. It is located 1km south of the town of Amble. Radcliffe was a mining community, once home to over 700 people. A colliery was worked here until 1892, when a fault in the seam, then fire and flooding, made coal extraction uneconomical. New pit shafts were sunk nearby at Newburgh and later at Hauxley, but flooding remained a problem with the pits in this area. By the mid twentieth century, the surviving pits in this area of Northumberland were also becoming uneconomical to run, especially when compared to extraction using opencast mining techniques. The last shift worked underground at Radcliffe was on 2nd February 1962. In 1965 plans were drawn up to opencast mine the coal seam beneath Radcliffe and Newbrough.
