class visitor attraction and research destination. It’s

have a great family day out. Opens 28th October 2006. About 6

Ashington is proud of

and Sir Bobby Charlton. A fine statue pays fitting tribute to
another football hero Jackie Milburn, uncle of Jack and Bobby,

of 1943-1957. It is located in the main pedestrian shopping area
of the town (photo right). About 5 miles east of Morpeth.
