Thanks for the post! My Great Grannie's people are from this town, Blenkensopps great and I have the pipes by Burleigh maker. tis great great to here you tell a little more than I know about the area.
everyone in Haltwhistle has related traces to either the coal mine, or the quarrys up the Cawfield quarry route. I live at the townfoot with my girlfriend and the area is really nice but the local area well overplay it and half of the people are either imbred chavs or imbred psycho pensioners.
Ignoring the tossers, I love the area, its peaceful and full of heritage.

Did Mrs Burkett become a baker at 'Burketts the bakers'? I wish it never closed!
