Ashington is a town in Northumberland, England, with a rich industrial heritage centered around coal mining. Originally a small farming community, it grew significantly during the 19th and early 20th centuries to become one of Northumberland's largest coal mining towns.
The town has a notable cultural legacy, particularly through the Ashington Group, also known as the 'Pitmen Painters' - a group of miners who took art classes and became celebrated artists, capturing local life and mining scenes in their work.
While the last coal mine closed in 1988, marking the end of the town's mining era, Ashington has evolved into a modern market town. The area maintains strong connections to its cultural heritage through various local institutions and has been working to develop new economic opportunities.
