Thanks for unscrambling the two Richard. I have amended the wording on the page.

The Census Return shows it as Hebburn Colliery – a different area to the centre of Hebburn. That being so, I would surmise that the return relates to the Society that became known as High Lane Row.
They were established in 1823 and the chapel was built, according to our records, in 1843 (not 1848 as shown on the return). If that is the case, the architect’s sketch does not relate to the Colliery chapel.
