Talk:Whitburn, Tyne and Wear

Whitburn Mill
I doubt very much that "South Tyneside Council took possession of Whitburn Mill in 1960". The council wasn't formed until 1974! Presumably it was Boldon Urban District Council that took over in 1960 (or possibly Durham County Council). Skinsmoke (talk) 01:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
