Hi Stan Just looked on Genuki and found this;- Havannah Colliery, Hazlerigg A drift mine. Location:- (Sheet 88) NZ217718, 55° 2' 25" N, 1° 39' 37" W, 5.5 miles [9 Km] NNW of Newcastle. No idea if there is a village of the same name near it.

The nearest church to Havannah is Holy Trinity, Washington. ____________________________________________________________ Hi Jan, Yes , I saw that one but I can't find it on any map, and apparently there is a Havanah near Kyo which I can't find either.
