Hi Alan,

Thanks for checking! Maybe in a couple of years he may drop back in again. 🤞

With regard to Sparrow house Farm. As a result of researching our family tree we got back to the 1800's in relation to Sparrow House Farm. It appears my great great great grand father lived at the farm and indeed died their in 1884 aged 68 years. He had at some point had owned about 680 acres at the Coneygarth Moor Farm which was farmland adjacent to Sparrow House Farm. In respect of its demolition,  I believe it was carried out by an American who rented almost all the NCB Farms around the 1960's.  all of which had been bought up by the Ashington Coal Company and then passed on to the NCB. His name was Roodie or Roody and during his tenancy he demolished several farm houses on some of the Farms. including both Coneygarth Moor Farm and Sparrow House Farm. 

Hi Frank, 

Your great great great grand father you refer to wouldn't happen to be George Thompson who died at Sparrow House Farm in 1884 would it? George is my great great great great grandfather. Would be keen to learn how we are related!

Best,

Keiren
