Gibson Street

This street was named after a stonemason who came to Newbiggin by the S ea from deep within the Northumberland countryside. William Gibson belo nged to a family of stonemasons, and he was responsible for building ma ny of the attractive stone properties on Front Street.
Although not confirmed, it is believed that he also built the large hom es on Windsor Terrace. Some of these properties were undoubtedly for ri ch and well-to do families; few ordinary folk could afford homes with b etween eight and fifteen bedrooms
Gibson must have felt at home in Newbiggin for he married a local lass, I sabella Armstrong who came from a large fishing family, at Woodhorn on 2 3 May 1846. Their son, Ralph, was born four years later. In 1868, St Ma rk’s Presbyterian Church was built by Gibson, or perhaps it was Gibsons , as his son too became a stonemason.

1851 - 1871 censuses give birthplace as Whalton.
