From Wikipedia:
Cambois (Kæmas/ Kamus) is a village in South-East Northumberland, England. It is situated on the north side of the estuary of the River Blyth between Blyth and Ashington on the North Sea coast.
According to Paul L. Younger of Newcastle University, the etymology of the name is probably Gaelic.
It is reputed to have been a French-owned island, dating back many centuries; hence the name.
Cambois 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.
Rio Tinto Alcan closed down in 2012
