Does anyone have any idea about what used to be in Barrington. Was there a pit there, and when did it close? Was that the only industry? I am researching my family tree, and have relatives that lived in Office Row in the early 1900s. Are these buildings still there? Did they belong to the coal board, or who else owned them? My relative was described as a servant girl, living in office row, but I assume Office Row would not be where she worked, only lived. Would love to hear of any history of this street, and/or Barrington.
