I'd never have managed that! Thank you! Lovely view, Vic. I can just see you sitting there of an evening with a cold beer. Is there snow on the peaks all year round? Every time I've flown over the Rocky Mts. I've seen snow but I think it's always been early autumn or late spring. Here's what i look at from my veranda. We've gradually opened up the forest right down to the bottom of the hill. I've lost count of how many trees that's involved but they've heated the house and water for thirty years.

Never played with a file with a file extension of HEIC before. Had a quick Google of HEIC files and it looks like you would have to Download software, from various sites, that would convert your file to various other formats including jpeg. However I found a site that allowed you to upload your HEIC file directly to the site and they converted it. I downloaded your HEIC file Vic and used a site - https://heictojpg.com/ By selecting Copy for your file in my Download folder and then Paste in the box the website was displaying the site uploaded, reformatted and then gave me the option to Download the file it had converted to jpg format.

Canny Lass, i'm fairly sure it was bigger, my memory seems to think there was another wing, nearer the cut from Hollymount Square through to Haig Road. I'll ask wor Allan if he can recall anything.

@Canny lass - last one from John Krzyzanowski.

Cheers Ovalteeny. In that case first bit of info found = Newspaper article posted by John Krzyznowski on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington :- And the 2nd, again from John Krzyzanowski :-

sorry folks, but the only photo I have is of me and wor Allan on our 3 wheeler bikes with a very blurred section of the Hall in the background. We lived in Hollymount Hall for approx 4-5 years in the mid 1950's, renting a couple of rooms from the owners - Bedlington Co-op (where my Dad worked in the Abattoir).

@Canny lass - @Ovalteeny might have download and saved some photos and info of Hollymount Hall from the Bedlington Facebook groups as his family lived there for a couple of years. This is the one photo of Hollymount Hall that I have downloaded.
