Colliery Street - Horden

Photograph showing both sides of a road of terraced houses running away from the camera; at the end of the road two large towers and the winding gear of a colliery can be seen; the road has been identified as Colliery Street, Horden; two cars are parked on the road

Date: 1974

This looks very much like First Street, where I lived as a child and young man for over 20 years. It is probably the only one of the numbered streets that had such a view of the colliery cooling towers and it did have the slight rise and fall clearly shown in the picture.

We think this street is actually called 2nd street.

I think it is first street. I lived in second street as a boy and at the far end of the street where the miners pay office which would have been in full view also First street ended a full block before the other streets which can be seen on the right. I am sure the houses at the far end which are very faint is the start of Eden Street
