What an interesting past New Herrington has.
It had its own colliery until the 1980s. One of its residents officiated at a Cup final and another local got up close to a famous locomotive.
We have it all in photos as well as plenty more reminders from New Herrington’s past.
Join us for a retro Echo journey spanning from 1971 to 2018.
