Aged Miners Homes, Brunswick Village
These terraced bungalows are typical of those in many ex-mining villages in the North East. Originally built for retired miners, many have now been sold off. These ones were in a quiet spot originally, but now have the A1 motorway not far from the bottom of their gardens.
