    Bedlington A pit.jpg
    it is @James and I should have mentioned that when I first added the DMM site cover photo for the 'A' Pit - but I forgot. There are seperate entries for the two in the Index for the DMM site but when you select either of the two pits it takes you to exactly the same page and the history for both pits is detailed. If you scroll down to the section 'Gallery Images:' the DMM site does label the image as the Doctor Pit.This is the photo + info in the Gallery Images :-

    Thankyou @Canny lass. I had wondered why some of the maps you have posted had different street names etc. to the ones I look at - now I know. When I first found the NLS maps I spent an awfull lot of time looking tat all the different types/sizes of maps and eventually set myself up a direct link, within Google, to the OS 6inch maps as I thought they had more detail and info. Well I got that wrong for the last 5+ years. I noticed on your map extracts you had looked at the 25inch maps. None of the 6inch show the double row of houses. I have now set up a link to the 25inch :- https://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/#zoom=16.0&lat=55.14074&lon=-1.56793&layers=101&b=1&z=0&point=55.14131,-1.56716&i=132279023 and this is the link I have been using to the 6inch :- https://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/#zoom=13.0&lat=55.13580&lon=-1.64090&layers=102&b=1&z=0&point=55.1326,-1.5691 This is the 1896 6inch map and it does not show the double row of houses :- And the 1920 6inch map is exactly the same. I will now tell Jan Appleby that you have showed me the way and I will give her a direct link to this posting. Eggy

    @Canny lass would you do me a favour and see what info the enumerator has in the 1911 census records for Back Clayton Street. I had neve heard of that street until this old photo (no date given) of Clayton Street was posted a couple of days ago on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlingtom :- and one member, Jan Appleby, made this comment :- So I searched everywhere I normally search and only found one other comment that mentioned it and the was by @tullybrone in this group in 2013 :- I then checked the old maps between 1896 and 1921 and no mention of Back Clayton Street. Only Cross Row and Phoenix Row behind Clayton Streeet. Help

    Before the new senior school - St. Benet Biscop Catholic High School opened I was told that both the junior & senior schools went under the name of St Bede's. This album will be a mix of photos from the junior & senior schools.

    it is very rare we get names, other than the name of the relative of the member who posted it, for photo earlier than the 1940's but it won't do any harm to try on this group and the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group🤞
