Newbiggin-by-the-sea
Newbiggin-by-the-Sea is a town as well as civil parish in Northumberland, England, on the North Sea coast. When an essential port for shipping grain as well as a coal mining town, it is still a tiny fishing port using typical coble watercrafts. Fishing has actually constantly been related to Newbiggin, although later on several inhabitants were employed in coal mining. By the Victorian period, Newbiggin was Northumberland's preferred seaside community, attracting hundreds of visitors every day in the summertime. In 1869, there were 142 cobles (angling watercrafts) in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea. Newbiggin Colliery was sunk in 1908. The colliery enclosed 1967, but at its top in 1940 1,400 males were employed there. The former Newbiggin Colliery Band is now the Jayess Newbiggin Brass Band, named for its president as well as former member, cornet tale James Guard. To date, there are 72 active companies based in Newbiggin.
