I came across an old photograph of Cambois. The long row of houses on the sea front was Sinkers Row which is not there now but you might be able to find through the maps where Boat House Terrace was.

Hello, and thank you for the lovely old photo.  That's Boathouse Terrace closer to the sea, but if you say it's Sinkers Row, you may know better than I.  Very helpful of you.  I'm looking for any information large or small which would help me see the world the way my family did then - they left in 1888.  Was there a colliery clinic, school, market?  Indoor plumbing or in house kitchens?  Some other colliery residential areas had gardens - and so, it's nice to know.  Write again if you like.  Northumberland Daughter
