Cambois ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|æ|m|ə|s}} {{Respell|KAM|əs}}) is a village in south-east Northumberland, England.[1][2] It is situated on the north side of the estuary of the River Blyth between Blyth and Ashington on the North Sea coast.

Etymology

According to earlier scholarship, the etymology of the name is probably Gaelic cambas 'bay, creek'.[3] However, the name could equally be from the Cumbric cognate of cambas, *camas 'bend in a river, bay', which would fit with Cambois's location at the confluence of Sleek Burn and the River Blyth. In either case, the spelling seems to have been influenced by French bois 'wood'.[4]

History

Cambois was a township in Bedlingtonshire which, until 1844, was part of County Durham. It was a coal mining village from 1862 to week ending 20 April 1968 when Cambois Colliery closed.

Cambois is now closely related to the area known as North Blyth. The main commercial activity (2011) is the importation of alumina for the manufacture of aluminium.

In 1883, the Coal Company gave a list of the property it owned, or leased:

North Blyth Staithes 7 houses
Mr Moore, colliery Manager 1 house
Mood & Scott 2 houses
Stable Cottage 1 house
Schoolmaster's House (at Boca Chica) 1 house
