The North Eastern Division of the National Coal Board was formed in 1947. Its title was changed to Yorkshire Division on 1 Jan 1963, and remained as that until the new area organisation was set up by the board in 1967. There were changes to the internal structure of the division in 1957; the Industrial Relations department replaced the Labour Department and the Staff department was set up to deal with non-industrial staff. |
