The main industries which helped South East Northumberland (formally Blyth Valley Borough Council and Wansbeck District Council) prosper were coalmining and shipbulding. The area was seriously affected when its principal industries went into decline. However, heritage regeneration has played a key part in its recent development.
Whichever part of this area's rich heritage you are interested in, then
