great work.
I'll type out Buddle's notes on the colliery and put everything on a page for 'Acklington Colliery'; we can add material on later developments and the more modern colliery as we uncover it. We've got a start anyway, and I feel a Woodhorn visit coming on. |

You do build a sense of 'place' even from the obscure stuff though - next time you drive from North Broomhill to Acklington past the 'Coal Houses' sign I bet you think of the early mining activities, the steam engines and windmills; and Robby Readhead bankrupting himself!
