At the time of the publication of the 1921 edition of the Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area the village of Brunswick, as such, did not exist. The area where the village now stands was occupied by Dinnington Colliery and numerous rows of miners dwellings. This property was part of the colliery. The first deep mine at the site was sunk in 1867. At its peak the colliery employed over 1000 people, but closed in February 1960.The village was initially known as Dinnington Colliery, but its name was later changed to Brunswick. The village is half in the Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside and half in the Metropolitan Borough of Newcastle upon Tyne.
