Now the question is, when was Cross Row built at South Broomhill??
In 1921 my dad's family are living in Front Row but I then have a church register entry for March 1923 placing the family at Cross Row.

Same place I think. Underwent a name change for some reason.

There was a drift mine entrance in the field between Druridge avenue and the school playing fields behind the ambulance station.The field belonged to Willy Jobson the farmer.

Sorry, I'm getting a bit obsessed by spoil heaps these days, a bit like someone's coal fetish
The drift entrance at South Broomhill was on the south side of where the Ambulance station now stands. You will note there is ground there not built on and I would surmise that that was a safety measure.
In 1955 I had the 'pleasure' of entering most drifts belonging to Broomhill Colliery, but not that particular one. There would be a spoil heap thereabouts but before my time.

It's odd how this one has avoided inclusion with the ordnance survey. Must have been and gone between editions?

I did put the larger scale Chevington Drift map on the other site as a series of photo tiles joined together. Not much good but better than nothing until the Library of Scotland get their zoomable versions up.

Default Re North Broomhillmap of 1860 from 'Coquet'.

[QUOTE=Coquet;6500]The earlier 1860s map for North Broomhill:

I just had a smile when I re-visited Coquets post. I noted that the 'Thunder Boxes' for Six Cottages seem to have been sited at the south end of the gardens. in 1860.
I was born and raised in No 4, 1940 to 1954, and our 'facilities' were built to the north. However, what raised my smile? At the bottom of our garden was a huge rhubarb plant, and I mean huge. Did it have a head start on the rest of the garden?
I can only assume that the 'facilities' were moved when Stone Row was extended northward, the road taken out and another inserted along the bottom of Six Cottages gardens. Perhaps a later map could give an answer, and date the extension of Stone Row.
