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. |

Re Drift at South Broomhill
Quote:
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.

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. |
