I am unaware of Mary Ann Cotton's association with Brooke Cottage, but it was still standing the last time I went by there. The terraced houses on either side have certainly gone, but my old home at 46 Darlington Rd and what we knew as 'The Blue House' (aka Brooke Cottage) seemed to have escaped the hammer. The OS map also still shows it - see http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=417500&Y=525000&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=1&scale=25000
The two houses of which I speak are clearly to be seen on the east side of the A68, north of the cemetery.
