Blyth
Used to be a mining town, now all that's left is a winding wheel outside what I believe is the courthouse which I think was used at one of the collieries in Blyth. It still has it's harbour though, which thrives apparently. It is home of "the most famous non-league football team in the world" Blyth Spartans. Another little fact is it was home to maybe the strongest man in the world. I'd seen his statue many times in the keel row, a shopping centre but nothing like those big malls like one I went to in Florida. I'd never heard anything of him or looked into it till just now and found this: http://wgadesign.com/geoffsworld/willie-carr.html
All in all a seaside town with a fair history but it's not a nice place to live in honesty.
