Could you have the wrong church, Eggy?

 

I'm definitely wrong CL - I should have spotted that the church image I checked was all brickwork but I just though West Sleekburn would only have had one church. - I'll blame Foxy. Does St peters still exist? I can only find Church lane in West Sleekburn - no church.

Thanks @Karen Gowing So that would be this one in the photo posted by @John Fox (foxy)

@Karen Gowing - is that a Bedlington church the couple are standing outside of?

The rest of the names from Graeme Ogle's dad :- 

Carol Leck, Bygone Bedlington FB group thinks No 2 could be her uncle who was born in 1930.

Can I take it this is taken form the colliery end  and Shiney Row is on the left.  cheers

Just noticed your comment @Rigger and I would say as you look at the photo Shiney Row on the left and Doctor Terrace on the left.

I love looking at these photos of Shiney Row, as I'm sure my mum Alice Lynn was born there. Her mum was Mary Anne and dad was George who worked down the pit. I'd love to know if anyone remembers anything about them.

I can't help you @Anne Gilbert. I never worked in the pits. My granda, Martin Henderson, born 1894, and a couple of my uncles, Martin & Luke worked at the Dr Pit but they lived in Haig Road then Beatty Road.

1949..??!!...I went to the Bedlington Village infants School in 1949..aged 5yrs..Paddy o Malley,and Terry Bradley.......

 

@HIGH PIT WILMA - my fault Bill. It was initially thought to be c1949 but back in 2019 No 25, grace Fizgibon, and a few others, reckoned about 1953. I forgot to add an updated photo with the year on.

Tidying out the photos I have added names to and came across this one but I haven't kept a note of who posted it and on what group. Searched the local Facebook groups I am a member of but can't find it so I am assuming it was from a FB group I am no longer a member of = Bedlington remembered.
