Notes
1. Following the closure of the Ivy Leaf Club club at 3 Windsor Terrace, the house became a private dwelling. The memorial was taken to the Newbiggin Council Offices, then to Ashington Town Hall. Then it went to the Woodhorn Colliery Museum. It was later taken to the Sailing Club where it hung on the stairs, having been cleaned. From 2013 in the Maritime Centre.
