If i remember right the francis pit was to the right of the new concrete road that went to barrington crossing on the bedlington to choppington road
-
This is only a picture of what was called the new houses the original rows were yard row,howard row and clifton row all up towards howard pit the new houses went from the institute to the old francis pit near the, conctete road to choppington
-
I can remember the concrete road being laid bybedlington council in approx 1947/493
-
The houses on howard row and clifton row were knocked down when people left to new houses in west lea and ridge farm estate behind netherton club the new one cheers jim lofthouse
