South Newsham
Not far from where I live there used to be two rows of "pit cottages" called Single Row and Double Row.
They are long gone now, as is the mine whose workers they were built for ( South Newsham Colliery )
I will be collating as much information on these two rows of cottages as I can , from history, censuses etc and writing them into a record that I will lodge at Blyth library.
Meanwhile, if you would like a history of your house, please let me know and we'll see what we can do.
Update: My work on the project is complete, but the project as a whole is far from finished. I have plenty of interesting snippets which I can add to the project, which we hope to be able to publish in early 2021. .
