What is a "Patch" Village

 

A cousin, Winifred , told me that Tony and Annie stayed for a while at a place named “Carey’s Patch” – where my grandfather was actually born. 

 

I wondered at the name of the town, and learned that a “Patch Village” was actually an area of housing built by a coal company, divided into sections according to the importance of the men’s jobs in the mines and the family’s nationality.   

 

These patch houses were little more than shacks; wooden boards haphazardly nailed to a frame – barely keeping out the weather -  and containing two rooms on which the family was charged an exorbitant rent.  Families took in boarders to help cover the expenses; the boarders most likely family and friends from the “old country”.  Water pumps also served many families with women waiting in line to pump water for cooking, bathing, or laundry. Outhouses were shared by several families, and conditions were, as you may image, unsanitary. 

 

While life for my forebears sounds incredibly bleak, they managed to make a living, move from the patch housing into homes of their own, and educate their children.
