    East Bedlington Parish Council have commissioned a stainless steel memorial to the A pit (1838 to 1971), going in at the entrance to Bower Grange and it's nearly fully installed. Then I assume there will be an official opening of the monument but haven't heard when. One of our grandkids was driving past the entrance to Chatsworth Drive, Bower Grange, Bedington Station, and saw the work going on and took the photo. above and this one :-

    Info from the Durham Mining Museum site - the colliery opened in 1834 and closed on the 25th September 1971. Bower Grange Housing Estate was built on the land where the colliery was.

    My half brother Colin Jordan. Who died suddenly at home earlier this year. He'd often nip up and drive around the areas he grew up in; North Ridge, Netherton colliery, Steadlands Square, Clement Avenue etc.

    The original school building was destroyed by fire in 1970. The old school building was replaced with garages and houses and the new school is still within the old school grounds.

    Hey Ian! There's a mind-numbingly simple solution to your constituent's problem. So simple that even a Labour MP couldn't miss it if they really wanted to facilitate "change" (you know, that nebulous thing that Two-tier is always going on about!) Here's what you do: you go shopping for a rubber boat, the flimsier and cheaper the better! Then you drive your poor constituent down to the channel coast, inflate it and put this poor guy in it. You only need to push him a few hundred feet out to sea, and simply abandon him. Maybe hand him a letter to hand to the first human rights lawyer he comes across pointing out how his right to unlimited UK resources for his medical condition are being violated - a mere detail, but you get the idea? Before you completely abandon him, make sure he knows to pretend he can't understand the local lingo - hardly a challenge for a Geordie in Kent - and keep repeating "I asylum seek", until he's put up in the mandatory five-star accommodation! Starmer's legal buddies will take care of all the rest for you. Just go for it! The resulting publicity could improve your dire re-election prospects like nothing else could! All those worries about having to get a real job soon could be at an end!
