    A pit entrance from South Row2.jpg
    Entrance to the 'A' pit from Station Road. The kids from Waverley Avenue; Waverley Drive; Bolam Place and the Oval area that went to Barrington County Primary school would cross the Station Road, from outside the Pioneer Boot factory and walk through the pit area up to Shop Row where they would turn right and to the railway crossing at Bedlington North signal box and cross the lines onto the Barrington Road and turn left to head for the school.

    Station Club 1950's.jpg
    Don't know what year the roof was removed and the whole building rendered in 'pebble-dash' . this photo is said to have been taken in 2009. Note the telephone pole in this photo. It looks like the one that is in the oldest photo pf the building, and according to @Keith Scantlebury it's still there.

    YMCA 1891 text.jpg
    In between the building being used as the YMCA and it's current owner - Hms Mot & Service Centre - it was used by the Pioneer Boot Factory and Anderson Motors. The tallest guy, 5th from the right as you look at the photo, in the photo when it was the Pioneer Boot Factory is Fred Rocket who opened his own Shoe Repair business - Rockett''s - opposite the Wallaw cinema.
