Structure


In 1934 Backworth Colliery Miners' Welfare Scheme bought Backworth Hall and its 85 acres for £8,500. In the grounds a golf course was laid out. Miners could play for 6d a week deducted from their wages. Today Backworth Golf Club, Cricket Club and Bowling Club share the hall and grounds. The Bowmen of Backworth (archers) also use the grounds.
