United Methodist Free Church, East Cramlington

Built in 1872 it is no longer in use as a church; but at least it has survived, unlike the pit which was on its door step.

Decaying buildings, East Cramlington Farm

These old ruins are a bit of a puzzle. Are they farm buildings or part of the old colliery which stood near this site?

Parish Church of St. Nicholas, Cramlington Village

When this church was built in the 1860's Cramlington was still a small mining village with a history going back before the Conquest. Now it is a suburb of the much larger 'New Town' developed in the 1960's.
