Hope it’s helpful you can go back every 10 years of the census but I believe you can only look at the records that are 100 years old & later but I’m not 100% sure

You can get the census records online from 100 years ago think it ancestry but you have to pay monthly subscription fee sometimes 1st month is free

Dunno Alan but I know an Asian guy had it in the 70’s we would finish school go to the shop & was able to buy 1tab for 3p we would smoke on the back of the Raisbeck bus imagine doing that now 😂 the tab was players No6 happy days -
I think it might have something to do with the steelworks because before Millbank place Knox road it would have been direct access to the woods & iron works hence the word mill bank but that’s just an outrageous guess

Your right as my grandma & grandpa moved in there from brand new at Millbank from Hirst terrace unfortunately he was killed at the Dr Pit in April 1949 so spent very little time there shame really
-
There used to be trees in every garden in Millbank place some had shared trees don’t know why the council cut them down they were all mature & different species

Actually Haig Road was named named after General Haig who served in the 1st w/w the poppy appeal bears he’s name & Admiral Beatty was in charge of the fleet in the Battle of Jutland also 1st W/W General Haig is buried at Melrose Abbey.on the Scottish Borders. Milbank place was built in 1950s my mum & Dad was of the first tenants I was doing a topic on Millbank place but never got round to finishing it yet but Millbank terrace & crescent was built much earlier

Hi Allan welcome to the forum I remember a year or 2 ago there was a video showing images of the village think from 60s or early 70s I’m sure canny lass or Alan Edgar can point you in the right direction it showed people getting of a bus which ran from grange park bedlington station to netherton colliery every hour if I can remember right the firm was called Raisbecks I believe

Hi symptoms hope your keeping well actually the Vizslas is my missus favourite dog lots of them about in the countryside people use them for hunting. Mostly for bird carrying but there mostly very affectionate towards children. But my missus like town photos but thanks for your advice
