Boat House Terrace,Cambois

I came across an old photograph of Cambois. The long row of houses on the sea front was Sinkers Row which is not there now but you might be able to find through the maps where Boat House Terrace was.

Hello, and thank you for the lovely old photo.  That's Boathouse Terrace closer to the sea, but if you say it's Sinkers Row, you may know better than I.  Very helpful of you.  I'm looking for any information large or small which would help me see the world the way my family did then - they left in 1888.  Was there a colliery clinic, school, market?  Indoor plumbing or in house kitchens?  Some other colliery residential areas had gardens - and so, it's nice to know.  Write again if you like.  Northumberland Daughter

Hi Northumberland Daughter. My Great Grandparents were also at 41 Boathouse Terrace on the 1881 census (Elizabeth Conroy). I'm still nee to all this and making links.

My great uncle, Joseph Dunn Eltringham, lived in Cambois for 20 years, 1924 - 45. But he lived in Cambois House, as he was the pit manager, his father having worked his way up from miner to manager. I don't know where that was, Censuses list it with Ferry House, and Rectory House, so I suspect it was close to the Ferry
