Beggarington, also known as Beggerington and Begerington[1][2] is a hamlet consisting of a few houses about half a mile north of Hartshead in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is found in a bend of the B6119 road at the junction with the road from Roberttown, and it has traditionally been considered a part of Hartshead.[1] The place name means either "where the berries grow"[3] or is related to the word 'beggar'.[4]
A coal mine was recorded here in the 19th century as "Beggarington Pit, Hartshead".[5]
A waste water treatment works named Beggarington is located off Green Lane, a public bridleway.
