    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’ Two names from Pat Robinson on the Cambois Facebook group :-

    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.

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

    @Mark J I have sent you a private messgae via the service in this group = envelope in the top right hand corder of your screen.
  20. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    Posted a screen shot of your initial comment on the Bygone Bedlington group and I will copy any replies that may help you into this topic.
  21. 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

    @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?

    @Bob Henderson - No27 named by Boyde Hoole on the Bygone Bedlimngton Facebook group.
  24. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    Welcome to the group @Mark J Although everyone in Bedlington would have known of the Welwyn and people who worked there there has been very little mention on the facotry and staff that I can remember or find photos of. If you select the Gallery section of this group and enter the one word - Welwyn - into the search box at the far right of the screen you will get a link to every comment that has been made that contains the word Welwyn. @loopylou created an album - Welwyn Photos - in the Gallery section but there are only three photos that she had fond in her family home but no info with the photos and neither of them were taken inside the factory. I knowm there are a couple of ex Welwyn workkers who use the Facebook (FB) group, Bygone Bedlington, but I can't remember many photos having been posted within that group. I will havve a search of the FB group and see what I can find and if there is anything that fits what you are looking for I wil ask those that posted the info if it's ok to share with this group.

    @Mal - I take it this is a photo fed into some AI software to make the video? Or have you found a singing Bedlington Terrier
