Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Ashington

Ashington Worktop Information

Ashington is a town in Northumberland, about 15 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne, in the NE63 postcode district. The town developed rapidly as a coal mining settlement from the mid-19th century, becoming at its peak the largest mining village in the world. The distinctive street plan of the older Ashington town reflects the mining settlement origin, with numbered avenues running east to west across the colliery housing. The average house price in NE63 stands at approximately £74,500, making Ashington one of the most affordable property markets in England. Ashington is the birthplace of two of the most celebrated Newcastle United footballers, Jackie Milburn, known as Wor Jackie, and the Charlton brothers, Bobby Charlton and Jack Charlton. The Woodhorn Museum, at the site of the Woodhorn Colliery, is the main heritage attraction of the area and houses the Northumberland Archives alongside the colliery buildings. The NE63 housing stock is predominantly post-war council and private semis alongside Victorian terraces in the older avenues.
