Ashington was at one time a thriving mining town but recent years have seen a steep decline with high levels of unemployment and social deprivation.

After the miners strike in the 80's the place became littered with charity and for some reason shoe shops. Long term unemployment is a problem too. However the positives are that Ashington is surrounded by beautiful countryside and northumberland has some if the best beaches in the world. Untouched and unspoilt. Northumberland is so beautiful. If only it could provide jobs it wld be the best place to live.

My great, great grandparents are from Ashington. Sailed to America on the Olympic in 1918 I believe. I wish I knew exactly where they lived in Ashington though. The only address they gave was a friend of theirs named Mr. Hunter, who lived in Ellington. I wish I could go there and find out!

John Carr (a teacher at Theale Green School) lived there and he said that there were absolute hooligans causing terror to the people of Ashington...
