Default Electric Lighting

February 1909: Electricity installed for the lighting of the streets. The Broomhill Collieries provided the current from their generating station at Newburgh Colliery, while the apparatus was installed by A E Green of Amble. The cables ran from the Colliery and were tapped at the east end of the village. A suitable building was erected and poles placed at various points along the streets.
