Lambton Collieries was a privately owned colliery and coal mining company, based in County Durham, England. ==History== The name derives from Lambton Castle, the ancestral family home of the Lambton family.〔 With coal having been extracted in the area from the 1600s,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lambton Colliery )〕 the commercial extraction of coal was developed by John Lambton in the lands surrounding the castle through the Wear Valley. The first of seven pits was sunk in the village of Bournmoor from 1783 onwards, which together were to make up what was known as Lambton Colliery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bournmoor Colliery )〕 The company was first formed when Lambton's grandson, John Lambton the first Earl of Durham, entered Parliament as a Whig politician.〔(thepeerage.com John George Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham )〕 The formal name change to Lambton Collieries was adopted in 1896. In 1910 the company merged with Hetton Collieries to form Lambton & Hetton Collieries. In 1924, that company merged with Joicey Collieries to form Lambton, Hetton & Joicey Collieries. In 1947, along with all of the other private coal companies of the United Kingdom, it was nationalised under the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act 1946 to form the National Coal Board. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lambton Collieries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
