About us:
Alwyn and John Woodcock.
We have lived here in Carrshield since 1999 in a house called Sunny Corner. The house was originally two mining cottages with a blacksmiths and cobblers shop at the end. It has lots of character and plenty of space for John to keep his toys—(motor bikes, canoes, model aeroplanes etc., etc.).
We share Sunny Corner with our three cats, Linux (moggie), Leoni and Tiger (both Maine Coons).

We live in the heart of rural Northumberland in a small village called Carrshield. This is moorland sheep country and Carrshield lies in a pretty and secluded valley on the river West Allen, although this is little more than a stream at this point.
Although farming is now the local industry, there is still much evidence of lead mining which was prevalent during the early to mid 1900s.
