MARKET TOWNS OF DURHAM (from SDUK Penny Cyclopedia)

Newbottle in 1837

Newbottle is between Houghton and Painshaw. It is on a high exposed situation. A little to the north below the brow of the hill is Philadelphia Row, a group of houses entirely occupied by the colliers of the neighbouring pits. There is a considerable pottery at Newbottle. The population rather decreased from 1821 to 1831, from the decline of the collieries in the township.
