Most of these papers are signed by Buddle, or in his hand, or endorsed by or addressed to him. A few are included here which were found with his papers but whose provenance is not definite. Items dated before 1806 may have been written or collected by John Buddle senior, who was also a leading colliery engineer and viewer. A useful list of Tyne and Wear collieries is given in NCB I/JB 2418. Fordyce “Coal and Iron” (1844) provides useful background. |

Coal Trade
Until later in the 19th century, the various coal owners associations and committees are difficult to distinguish. “They began in 1805 as a loose combination of owners of collieries exporting from the rivers Tyne and Wear. The Coal Trade Committee was established in the second quarter of the 19th century … separate Associations were also set up in both Northumberland and Durham, and other combinations and committees for special purposes … were formed – some being short lived. Practically all these various associations were administered by the permanent staff of the Coal Trade Office in Newcastle”.
(See: R. Gard in Bulletin of the North East Group for Labour History).
(66 papers)
The minutes of the General Meetings of the coal owners (1805 – 1864) and of the Tyne and Wear Committees (1826 – 1867) are in the Northumberland Record Office.
Much of the following material does not clearly specify which association or committee is concerned; it is therefore listed chronologically only, and includes papers relating to the coal trade which may not have been directly connected with the Coal Trade organisation. |
