    Hilton Dawson posted a group of photos on the Cambois Facebook group with this comment :- 'My Mam, Sally Dawson (1924-2010) was Sally Renner when she had her first job in teaching at Cambois Primary School from 1946-1952. Mam clearly loved it there, she forever described those years as her ‘best in teaching’ & would often talk very warmly about ‘Cambois’

    Don't know the exact year the school was built. I would assume there would be some colliery rows built when the colliery was due to start production. The Durham Mining Museum does not have a year against when the colliery was opened but it does have 1982 as the first year coal was output. The First Edition of the OS map of the Cambois area held on the National Library of Scotland is 1859 (published 1865) and there is no colliery or houses. The Second Edition - 1896 (published 1898) shows the colliery, many pit rows and the school etc.

    @Mark JThat magazine was issued randomly mid 60's to late 80's. My wife has a couple but they don't really have much in them. I've found a few photo's of some pre mid 90's stuff we built that I'll email you. As I mentioned in an earlier 'mail, Hugh himself may have some photos stashed away somewhere.

    @Dave Cordes I have sent you an email. I did get a document celebrating 50 years of Welwyn 1937 to 1987, but nothing else so far

    @Dave Cordes - if you whish to tag a member so that they are notified then you can use the @ before the members name. The tag only works when you start with the @ followed by the members name and selecting the full name from the list that the system throws up eg @M and the system will give the names and then you select the name you want :- @M and you will get @Mark J
  15. Dave Cordes

    Hi Mark, you should be getting some info' forwarded from the post on Bygone Bedlington FB group as I worked closely with Hugh. I've a few photos of older Electronic stuff I was involved with ranging from old Taiwanese winders on which we changed the control systems and converted the feed system to handle much finer wire (Hugh's design). The "Magic Roundabout" in question may have been a twin turreted rig for making fuse cards for Fiat lorries - but there were several things we did that involved a single turret. Hope your dad's OK!??!

    Blimey, Dr Kirby & IBM computer, they're blasts from the past. As for John Storey, I was an apprentice '66 to '72 and can only remember him from the earlier years in the Tech' block.

    @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) that would be great if you can post this and see if anything comes back. Much appreaciated
  28. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    Yep you will have to start from scratch and invite all your friends to the new account. The advrts are a paiin but normally by reloading the page via the circle with arrowhead on at the top left the adverts sometimes stop - but unfortunately not always. However if you visit one of the groups , eg. Bygone Bedlington the latest advert(s) are blocked out and when you go back to your hame page the advert(s) should have gone
  29. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    @Mark J searched on the FB group Bygone Bedlington and the only postings on the group about the Welwyn are group photos of office parties among the female workers, What if I screen shot your first comment and posted that on the Bygone Bedlington site and see what response it gets?

    Hi Folks,I created another account using my gmail address..but it isn't the same..it's all Daily Express news articles..mainly Stamer and Migrant subjects..all my long lost and regained family and friends have been taken away from me.FB keep saying they have reviewed my content and it still doesn't meet their "Community Standards"..well,there is no way I can edit my posts to delete those that breached their standards.So it seems permanent.It's all run by AI robots...impossible to speak to a human...that is the annoying thing.Cheers!
