Six new stations could open if Ashington to Newcastle passenger trains resume In February, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling was very much in support of the project as he visited the county https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/six-new-stations-could-open-16585704?fbclid=IwAR2vkwN2CofPa4XULfRsMry6qed3WXs5hL_66rEpm8OTAoOUivHnQtFeYkA -

Westlea Rovers from Albert Armstrong.jpg
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) commented on Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s gallery image in Sports
Update from No 7, Ronnie day, saying that the match he played in was at the Eleventh Avenue ground against Wilkinson Sword and the result was 4 - 2 to Westlea. Pete Endean tells me that Westlea did win the cup twice and the second time was at Croft Park against Blyth Corinthians. Info on the photo updated. -
@Liz Moore - forgot to mention there is a site that might be of some help in your research = The Durham Mining Museum site. It lists info on all the mines in the Northumberland and Durham counties. This is a link to the page on the Barrington colliery and then an extract from the Barrington Colliery page :- http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/b035.htm

@Liz Moore - have you download copies of the photos? I found this extract (don't know what book it was taken from) on the Facebook group - Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!!

This pic comes from Facebook group Bygone Bedlington member Albert Armstrongs collection. It is Westlea Rovers football team being presented with the Randolph Cup. The competition was run in the Blyth and District Sunday League. The awards were presented by Sunderland Player Cecil Irwin seen here in the front row. Albert can name most of the team but is struggling with two remember two of the names. Can any one help with the names and the exact year?

@Liz Moore - any member of this group, when signed in, can take a copy aof any of the photos that are posted within this group. I don't use a handheld/mobile device but from my PC, using the mouse, if you left click on the image it enlarges and then if you right click the system gives you a number of options of which one is 'Save image' and selecting that option you get the option to name the file the system is about to download to your device. If you would prefer the info emailed to you then the best way, so as not to broadcast your email address etc. to the rest of the world is to send a Personal Message, by selecting the envelope logo at the top right of the page you can send a personal message to me - Alan Edgar (Eggy 1948) - with your email address and I will email you whatever info you request that is available on this site. . That small photo of Double Row, Barrington, is the only one I can remember having seen on this group but there is at least one on the Facebook group - Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!!

Sun Inn Murders 100 Years "the Whole Story"
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to johndawsonjune1955's topic in History Hollow
@joe Callahan -normally the best way to alert a member that you are after a re sponse from a comment you have made is to add the members name, preceded by an '@' like I have done with this one. It does depend on the setting the member has , either to recieve notifications or not, but doesn't do any harm to use that method. When you start typing the name eg @johndawsonjune1955 that members name tag will pop up and you select that. John Dawson is not a frequent visitor to this site. When you hover over the members name tag the system gives you some info on that person. I did that for John and it shows the last time he logged into this site was 5 months ago :- -
@anniemarr :- had a search of the www but only found one reference to the farm and that was in the London gazette of 1924 in connection with the Ashington Coal Company. Then I checked on a Facebook group - Past Times History, Admin @johndawsonjune1955 - as there has been info on Sheepwash etc posted on that group before. When I searched for Sparrow House farm I found three photos that a Helen Birch had given to John Dawson and John posted them with this comment :- Ashington Sparrow House Farm in the garden Photograph Helen Birch
