Miners Killed In Bedlington Pits
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to mickypotts's topic in History Hollow
@Ingrid - I would expect for the era you are researching the miners were living in the pit village and there was a pit in Chopington.. Checking the Durham Mining Museum (DMM) site it shows the Choppinton pit opened in 1857, closing in July 1966. There is no record of anyone with the surname Lake in the list of names of those killed at Choppington pit. This is a link to the Choppington colliery info on the DMM site :- http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/c011.htm When I have a bit more time I will have a look on the old maps so you can see where the pit was. -

Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s topic in Chat Central
@Andy Millne - has anyone from the East Bedlington Community Centre ever been in touch with you about advertising their events? Stacey Chisholm Price on the Bedlington & Cambois Facebook groups, this week has posted three events taking place at the centre. I copied one of them - Jobs Fair - onto the Events calendar and Chat Central on this site. Might be worth contacting them to see if the East bedlington Community Centre staff wanted to join, and use the facilities of, this group. -

Alex - I can do that - I have taken a copy of your email address. There is also a method of 'Downloading' images that have been posted to your Download folder on whatever device you are using to access this group. If you select an image that has been posted it expands and then when you right click (if using mouse) on the expanded image you get the option to 'save image as' or 'copy image'. I will ask Admin, @Andy Millne - @John Fox (foxy) to remove your email address from your comment. It's just a safeguard as it stops 'spammers' getting access to members email addresses. If you want to pass personal info to another member it's best to use the 'Private' Message system = white envelope at the top right hand corner of the blue banner at the top of ever screen. I will message you and the email you.

@Alex Wood - I can't remember seeing any comments on any of the topics on this site from members of the Wood family. There are a couple of photos of the Wood Sons factory and the area around Dene House. Have you found the photos, on this group, or would you like me to post them all for you?
