Lumpsey Pit – Brotton

A lovely clear photograph (from a Huntrods postcard) of Lumpsey mine at Brotton. Huntrods the photographer (and postcard producer) would not have had to travel very far to capture this image. In 1901 Mr J. E. Huntrods was living in at 32 Errington Street, Brotton; just next door really! Presently some ruins of the buildings still remain with the shaft being capped off.
