Lemington is a village in the district of Newburn Hall. High Row was part of 'Low-Lemington'. All the house here have been demolished. High Row, Low Row, Tyne Iron Row etc. However a Facebook group - Lemington and Newburn Pit Village past - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1241638782946518 has extensive research on the area along with maps and ample photographs.

Have you tried Beamish? They have some fairly extensive local photo collections.

Thanks Craklyn

Yes I have. The photo I posted above is from the Beamish collection that is online. I intend to visit in Person and just maybe they have some close up photos.  I am hoping that someone may have a photo, maybe of the QE2 Coronation street party, that shows details of the row. Houses, people etc. I have been on this for several months and the Pit Rows seem like a lost planet.

I thought the "Pit Rows" were Lloyd St, Stanley St and Union St, as shown on this map https://maps.nls.uk/view/120934107#zoom=5&lat=5776&lon=11588&layers=BT

Yes, they are the Pit Rows. I am a member of the Lemington Facebook page and although other members lived there in the past, No one I have found has a photo of the roads. In fact only one of a close up of one of the Pit cottages, just open front door.  I have also been in contact with Newcastle Museums, Archives, Miners Institute, Durham Mining Web pages, Web sites: blog-spot: co-curate; Ancestry: Find_My_past etc and also the National Archive at Kew. Also searched British National newspapers. As yet I have not found one photo that shows a street view of any of the Pit Rows in Lemington.

Try the above.

Thanks Holmes. Frances Frith is good but, no pictures of Lloyd St, or any of the Pit Rows. Picture below shows Lloyd St just to the right of the rail line. However, I have not found a closer photo anywhere on the internet.

Does anyone remember the Williamson family who lived in Lloyd Street Lemington during the 1940's up until 1960's.  There was a house fire and Jack Williamson was sent to prison but the details are sketchy. Thank you

Hi Megan
The Williamson family  'Uncle Jack and wife Bet' in Lloyd St are I think mention on the Frances Frith Website living at No. 1. Also in 'Lemington Past and Present' Facebook site.  The 1939 register shows a different family name at No. 1 but you may be able to track what st they were living in then.

Hope this helps.
