NZ2732 : Joseph Patterson Terrace, Ferryhill

This extract from: http://www.durham.gov.uk/miner/projects.nsf/0/9b5fcf0f45e825ba80256dbb 0051eaca?OpenDocument answers the photographer's query.

Before leaving the subject of housing it is important that I refer to the homes built for retired miners. Under the auspices of the Durham Aged Miners Homes Association and the Lodge of the Dean and Chapter Colliery, two crescents of some 24 homes in each crescent were built on the north side of Paxton street. These were one bed roomed bungalow with a small front garden. They were called the William Keers Crescent and the Joseph Patterson Crescent. Although the provision of these houses was a sign of progress the site chosen was not without problems. It was a long way from any shops and for the elderly it was too far to walk to Ferryhill Village. It was also very exposed to inclement weather and in winter time suffered from heavy snow. Joseph Patterson Crescent was named after Mr. Joseph Patterson, who was the Checkweighman, a very responsible position, in that he represented the workmen, and it was his duty to ensure that all the tubs of coal that came out of the mine were weighed and accredited to the coal hewer who produced them. William Keers Crescent was named after Mr. William Keers who was an official of the Miner’s Union. Today these bungalows have been refurbished and modernised.
