Can you explain Netherton/Nedderton please?

@Gary Mills rather than fill up the gallery with comments I have created a topic - Netherton info for Gary Mills - under the History Hollow part of the Discussion section.

This is a direct link to topic :- 

@Gary Mills I assume you have gone through the other 5 Gallery albums on Netherton Colliery/Nedderton :- 

Netherton/Nedderton old photos

•  Album created by Carole

The End of Netherton Colliery

•  Album created by Carole

Netherton Colliery Railway Engine 1970

•  Album created by Cympil

Scotts of Netherton

•  Album created by sweenytwo

Netherton Colliery Band

•  Album created by Bandsman1966

as well as this one.

I would expect finding general info, from pre 1940, from existing members of this site would be difficult unless someone had delved into census records etc.

if you created a new topic under the Discussion/History Hollow section you may get more response. Have you used the search facility? if you searched, using quotation marks, for "Netherton Coliery"  under the Discussion section of this site you will be returned all the comments through many topics that have used that phrase.  probably a lot to wade through but might be worth it.🤞

East Bedlington Parish Council have commissioned a stainless steel memorial to the A pit (1838 to 1971), going in at the entrance to Bower Grange and it's nearly fully installed. Then I assume there will be an official opening of the monument but haven't heard when. One of our grandkids was driving past the entrance to Chatsworth Drive, Bower Grange, Bedington Station, and saw the work going on and took the photo. above and this one :-
