Description: | Heworth colliery was surrounded by rows of miners’ terraced rows. Above Hillcrest Cottages, at the top of Heworth High Lane, on a site now occupied by ‘Cresthaven’, was the Colliery Institute. This was a wooden building with a large social room, classes for mechanics and engineering, and meeting rooms, largely paid for by miners’ subscriptions. It even had tennis courts outside in the 1930s. It is possible that the Heworth Colliery Football Club was formed as recreation for the miners, who were members of the Institute. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Football Coal Industry | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
