By the date of the Newcastle Courant of 21 May 1791, it looks like Acklington colliery had been sold as there was to be a meeting of the creditors in Morpeth to receive an update. The estates left unsold were: small freehold estate at West Thriston (Thirston) at Felton; the remainder of a lease of a "Landsale" Colliery on Rothbury North Forest, called Debdon Colliery.
