my Name is John Holding

I was born in Victoria Terrace in 1957 in a flat above Bob and Lizzy Bates I think it was number 5 but Im not sure, I have lived in Australia since 1981, I was looking for some old photos of the pit rows to show my grand children where I was born, and came accross this site. I hope some of you are old enough to know of me or my family, it was fairly big in Bedlington but now we are spread all around the world.

Hi John,

Welcome to the site. Plenty of old photos of Bedlington and the pit rows in the galleries if you haven't already seen them. Cympil's album in particular has some good'uns.
