High Heaton houses the Freeman Hospital, Heaton Manor School, Heaton Stannington Football Club, Paddy Freeman's Park and The Spinney. The Spinney was built in the 1960's on the site of Heaton High Pit which closed in 1852. The pit was the scene of a disaster in 1815 when 41 men and 34 boys died when water flooded the pit from some old mine workings.
