Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Eddie Yarrow - album created, within the Historic Bedlington section, from your original 19 photos . I have added an extract image - one from a 1938 map showing West Sleekburn Colliery and village. @Andy Millne - when I created the West Sleekburn I think I selected the Copyright feature ( as shown on the Albums @Carole created) but there is nothing displayed when the photos are viewed. The system didn't ask (that I can remember) for a any info. Is it the system or will it have been the way I created the album? The album is the last one ( Page 2) within Historic Bedlington.

Will do Eddie, probably tomorrow - time to close down this old Windows Vista Desktop PC, it's been on all day. Let you know when I have done it - hopefully

Sometimes when you take a photo of a photo, using an Iphone or iMac the settings within the device are set so create a large image = approximately 35" x 42". When you try and upload theses large images onto this system, into an album, they appear to get timed out. I remember John fox having a similar problem. Your photos do seem strange though. I checked the sizes and the average is around 6" x 4" but when I 'copy and paste' one of the photos into a blank sheet (about 10" x 10") tour photos paste a size more than double that and iI have to shrink it down before I start adding the text. If you like I could create an album and I will add in your original photo + a one with text and numbers on.

Another name - Bill Smith, a Deputy at West Sleekburn. His daughter, Joan Cummings, commented :- ' Joan Cummings My dad again no 10 Remember faces but not names look so different down pit Joan Cummings Now dad again. It’s the same group of men, dad worked with Grundy, came to the house Took pictures of family Joan Cummings Good remember when they moved, dad always worked night shift at the winning but when he moved to bates he didn’t, and fretted because he couldn’t get his garden done, missed the sunlight too.

@Eddie Yarrow - unfortunately only one member on the Cambois Facebook group has come up with a possible name. - Florence Henderson thinks one of the men might be her dad - Tom Anderton. Added your dad's name to this one :- Would you like me to create an album and post all the photos into it? We could create it under 'Historic Bedlington' or 'Places Gallery' where we have HPW's Bates album.
