When Discussing the Boldon Buke, Brian states “The oldest part of the area is West Boldon on top of the hill about midway between Newcastle and Sunderland. There were a few battles in ancient times in the area and I remember when the “new houses” were built in the Mid fifties (Hardie Drive) a few skeletons were found on the site.
