More about this scene
The Queen's Head c1955 In the early 19th century the Border town of Rothbury enjoyed a reputation as a health resort, where during the summer season visitors could 'drink goat's whey and enjoy the salubrious air of the place'. There was also horse racing on Rothbury Haugh, which attracted people from throughout Coquetdale. But the town owes much of its growth to the coming of the railway and the nearby Armstrong estate of Cragside. Lord Armstrong began building Cragside in the 1860s; he also built almshouses in the town (1896) as well as the Addycombe cottages (1873) for retired staff from his estate.
