The colliery at Oakenshaw is the property of Messrs. Straker & Love, where the "Brockwell" seam 3 ft. thick, is met at a depth of 70 fathoms, the produce of which is conveyed by an incline line to the coke ovens at the Brancepeth Colliery. This pit, which employs 500 men and boys, is ventilated by a 30 ft. Guibal fan.
Oakenshaw is a purely colliery village, situated two miles from Willington, and seven miles west south west from Durham. There are two chapels, a school, and an institute.
The British School at Oakenshaw was built by the colliery owners, to accommodate 340, and has an average attendance of 250 in both mixed and infants.
The Oakenshaw Reading Room and Library, which is supported by the members' subscriptions, consists of two rooms, and is well supplied with all papers and magazines.
The Young Men's Christian Association have a lecture hall, library and Bible class at Oakenshaw, in which science classes are held during the winter months. This hall was also built by Messrs. Straker & Love, who, with Lord Boyne, contribute liberally towards its support.
