I think everybody was happy to have their photo taken but I expect it was a bit of a shock to some

Hi Brownie, I'm new myself so need all the people we can get on here. Great site. Wish I'd found it earlier.

I remember the Arkles - the boys were both really good footballers. We used to go for a kick about and they were always thereYou couldn't get the ball back once they had it. Happy times !!! Also a couple of doors away from them were the Phillipsons. Ronnie and I went to school together.

If anyone has any old photographs of Barrington could they please upload them. I have copied most that are on the site already (very interesting) but love to see more. Thanks!!!

Thanks John

I sure do feel at home. Wish I could be there now.

Thanks Brian

Hi Brett, Got the shock of my life when my wife found this site. So many memories, so many heartaches but I wish thetimes and places were here now...

Hello Vic, I was 38th Entry in Hereford. That's where I'm living now. This Forum is really making me homesickfor the North East and the area.

I used to know quite a lot of people living in this Row as I used to deliver newspapers for Mr Ward from Scotland Gate all around Barrington.

I was friends with a girl who used to live in one of the houses at the end of Office Row... Her name was Hilda Arris.. her father was Bob, I believe.I think the other house was occupied by a Mr Cook, who used to train the pit ponies. The building to the left in the photo was stables. Barrington school used to play their home matches on this pitch. The building behind the goalposts was the pavilion.

I remember Mr Hunt.. He used to run the football team as well. I left this school in 1953 though. My brother Alvin may have been there in 1959

I'm in the front row on the left (Edwin Adey) seems as though I have a habit of being in the front row on the leftas I was in the same position in the football team photo.

I used to live in Double Row - number 24 (Adey) and my grandma lived in number 15 (Hutchinson)

Thats me !!! (Edwin Adey). Used to play left wing. I'm in that school football team photo. Front row, first left,. Edwin Adey

Hiya, Just writing to introduce myself... My name is Edwin Adey and I was born in the mining village of Barrington in December 1942 I lived in Double Row (number 24), with my mother (Sally) , father (Tommy) elder brother (George) younger brothers (David and Alvin) and sister Marilyn). I went to Barrington CP school until I was 11 years and then went to Bedlington Grammar School. After leaving school I joined the RAF as a boy entrant at the age of 16. I would love to hear other Barrington residents of the time.
