October 11, 201510 yr Does anyone know where Coach Lane was, or is under another name. This came up on a census (1901) when I was tracing my wife's ancestors.
January 15, 201610 yr With reference to your query about Coach Lane, although I don't know were it was, I remember my dad telling me when he used to deliver papers there when he was a young lad,
January 15, 201610 yr There is a Coach Road mentioned in this PDF The plan shows new and intensive residential development for industrial workers off Front Street at each end of the town, most likely related to developments at the iron works and at the new Bedlington „A‟ Pit which opened in 1838, only 5 years before the map was drawn. Workers terraces and Methodist chapels in Coach Road, Chapel Row and Walker Terrace were built by the owners of the iron works in the early 1800s, surprisingly close to their own mansions. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&ved=0ahUKEwiGwu_u8qvKAhWIExoKHfDrAnAQFghYMAk&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.northumberland.gov.uk%2Fidoc.ashx%3Fdocid%3Df22033df-2331-497c-9e49-c0fafbf4650c%26version%3D-1&usg=AFQjCNHb15CmS3CACNaGBHngHwDjDzIzew&cad=rja

January 15, 201610 yr Coach Lane had a mention on this site March 13 2014 in 'Old Places in Bedlington' when it was said that "Walker Terrace was on the first left Before going down Bedlington Bank. I Think it stood next to a street called Coach Road. That old big sandstone house for retired clergymen, is it Spring Mount was at the end of the Road".
January 15, 201610 yr Following Pete's link above to orthumberland.gov.uk you can find Spring View (not Spring Mount) on the far right of the map at 4.21 - First Edition OS map c1860. On the Third Edition OS map c 1920 4.30 you can read: 4.37 Although Spring View still survives as a reminder of the Bedlington iron and engine works, Holly Mount had gone as had workers cottages associated with both houses, to be replaced by modern housing behind Front Street East and a new retirement home on the main street itself at the entrance to the old town.
