@HIGH PIT WILMA - you have a fan on the Villageguides Facebook group. Currently posting info on Choppington and you get a mention in the posting on the Unitarian Chapel on Station Bank (can't recall it ever been called that before ) :- Villageguides Here is another ‘new’ old photograph that I discovered last week while researching Robert Elliot one of the founders of the Choppington Coop. I have not seen this photo on any of the local history forums up until now which makes it something of a rarity. It was taken in 1968 on the occasion of the 100 anniversary of the Unitarian Chapel on Station Bank in Choppington and was published in a recent newsletter of the Newcastle Unitarian Chapel. This photograph also shows one of the clearest views I have seen of Storey’s Buildings running down the hill. If any of you reading this know “High Pit Wilma” from the Bedlington History Hollow Forum, be sure to let him know as he spent much of his early childhood there. Tomorrow, I will return to this site and let you know the full story of the chapel.
