Canny lass 1,351 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Is he sure it's Howard Row? I have it on very good authority (family) that Howard Row was stone-built. This looks like brick. Widow seems abit big for the colliery houses as well. Edited March 11, 2020 by Canny lass

Canny lass 1,351 Posted March 11, 2020 Correction! Carol's photo of Yard Row shows the same type of window. https://www.bedlington.co.uk/gallery/image/247-back-of-yard-row/ Office Row was also brick-built as were most of the other pit buildings. Perhaps the first 20 or so houses of Howard Row, nearest the pit, were also brick. They were built many years before the rest of Howard Row.
