Marley Hill - Andrews Houses
Andrews Houses were situated near to Andrew's Houses Pit and very close to the Bowes Railway Line. They were originally part of Chester-le Street Rural District until 1936 when they transferred to Whickham Urban District. This area consisted of Bowes Terrace, Gibraltar Row and Marley Hill Terrace. Bowes Terrace was built 1871 as back-to-back houses but in 1921 was converted into through houses. They were demolished in 1938 when the occupants were re-housed in Fernville Avenue, Sunniside. Gibraltar Row was built 1874 and later Marley Hill Terrace. These rows of houses were demolished in 1960, when the occupants were rehoused in Neill Drive, Sunniside.
