EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lanercoast Park, a newly constructed private housing estate in Cramlington. The image transports us back to the 1970s, a time when this development was making headlines for its unique approach to affordable housing. In an unprecedented move, the council decided to purchase the estate for £500,000 with plans to allocate several of the 68 executive homes to key workers from local factories. What sets Lanercoast Park apart is that these homes would be rented out at rates equivalent to normal council houses – as low as £8 per week. This groundbreaking initiative aimed to provide quality accommodation for those who played crucial roles in their community's industrial sector while ensuring affordability and fairness. The estate itself stands proudly on the grounds where old colliery offices once stood in East Cramlington. It symbolizes progress and transformation, breathing new life into an area steeped in history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of Lanercoast Park's development within Northumberland's landscape. It represents not only architectural achievement but also social responsibility and inclusivity during a period marked by change and growth. This print serves as a testament to how innovative ideas can shape communities and improve lives – forever etching Lanercoast Park into our collective memory.
