The lease went up for sale again in 1867 following the death of one of the partners, John Harrison. Shields Daily Gazette, 14 December:
"This valuable and current going colliery and fire clay works, with powerful machinery, and the Royalty remaining under a surface of 2,600 acres, will be offered for sale by auction (in consequence of the death of one of the principal proprietors), at the Queen's Head, Newcastle upon Tyne, on Saturday 21 December....
Full particulars and conditions of sale, with a plan, may be had from John Taylor, Esq., Earsdon,; Messrs Hoyle, Shipley and Hoyle, Solicitors, Newcastle upon Tyne; or Messrs Hill and Hoyle, Solicitors, 123 Cannon Street, London."

Joseph Harrison still seemed to be an owner as he remained at Radcliffe House/Cottage until his death in 1877 with the occupation at the census of colliery owner.
