Rothbury in the 1800s

1 Upvotes

For story and character creating purposes, I'm wondering what Northumberland was like in the late 1800s compared to other parts of England, specifically Rothbury. I'd like to know the culture, the history, the dialect. Is there any sources to point me in the right direction?

The character is a young girl born in 1875 that grew up in Rothbury, Northumberland. Her parents are bakers and she has a cat if that helps.
