@Canny lass- some of Alan Dickson's paintings that he posts on the Bygone Bedlington, Cambois and Barrington groups.

This photo I would say was 50+ years ago - could be Netherton Colliery - see text.

Alan did join this group in 2014 but was only active for just under 5 months.  

Alan often posts a poem abut each of his paintings. This is a typical Alan Dickson poem :- 

Mind I had a funny dream , I was tossing and turning,

Guess I had too much to dream,

Just couldn't fall properly asleep,

I remember I was aboot halfway counting the sheep.

The cortins kinda fluttered and an old  wummin came in from oot of the mist,came forward and sat on the side of the bed and gave me a kiss,

I knaa I noticed the silver strands in her auburn hair,

And the sparkly things dancing aboot in her eyes,

Bugger this old lad  was very surprised,

To see his Mother putting a hand forward and stroking his head,,

I reckon she must have thowt I was worried aboot this or that,

But to tell the truth I didn't know what,

She just spoke the once!! Son am nivvor very far away,

I watch you every day!!

I know your getting old, and the hairs whiter than grey,

So your Mother thought she'd better call in  and tell you,

In her eyes, your still her little lad at the end of the day,

She gave a little smile and drifted back oot in the mist,

Now I wasn't sure if I had been dreaming or not.

But I felt my hand ganning up to touch the spot where I thowt she had kissed,

I must have fell back into deep sleep,

Cos I couldn't see any more sheep.

Did Betty Oliver marry a Barnes fellow, please? x

No idea - no member on the Bygone Bedlington group, apart from Christina Leach who listed the names on the back of her mam's photo, has mentioned her.🙂

Names from Christina's list added to her photo :-

@James - couldn't get the font size on my system to match the size of the font on your photo. The lowest I can use is '6' but even that was double the size of the font on your photo that I downloaded. I have therefore updated the photo using my font size - hope that's Ok.

I posted your photo on the Facebook group - Past Times History and a relative of No 13 & 14 posted :- Sheila Richardson

Remaining three names from Dom Burns, Keith Cain and David Twist - Bygone Bedlington group.

Photo posted by @johndawsonjune1955 on the Past Times History group - said to be 1940's.

I don't know what the houses/buildings to the right of the Tankervile Arms are.  The other two photos of the Tankerville Arms don't have those houses/buildings.

Checked on Facebook group Bygone Bedlington for the house numbering :

Susan Ibbetson

Photo and all names from Nicola Downey - Bygone Beldington Facebook group.

Nom 8 not Russell Ellis :- 

@James - two names, No 8 & 9, from members of the Ellis family :- 

Does your photoshopping software allow you to add the names to the photo? My old software - Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 allows me to create an image with space added for text to be added. So any additions or corrections I just have to edit the image. Unfortunately my software is nearly as old as me and only runs on my old Windows Vista PC - it wont load on Windows 7,8 or 10.  When my Windows Vista PC finally gives up the ghost I will be relying on others to add text🙂

Feel free to share any of my photos with other groups to gather as much information as possible about the photos.

👍

@James - would you like me to share this photo, with the names, on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group and see if any of the members can add some names?

Andy's photos, and Jojo's,, definitely the stepping stones next to Humford Baths. 

Image from a 2013 edition of Mike Kirkup's magazine Creeful Of Coals that Pat Robinson posted on the Bygone Bedlington group.  The Creeful Of Coals image only had the initial of the lads christian names. Bygone Bedlington member Susan Barlow have, from their relatives, provide some christian names.

Is it another of my clouded memories but was there a blue “hut”, behind the Church of Christ where I spent a lot of time at a youth club of sorts? ...............

Can't remember the colour of the building behind the church but it was there and it is where the youth's met and the junior section of the church met - including me in the late 1950's. 

Just seen a comment on the Bygone Bedlington group from Susan James (nee Hemsted - grandparents lived in Garth Cottage and helped with the upkeep of the church) :- Susan James-Hemsted

You’re a wizard Alan. 

I forgot to ask - on the Garth Cottage roof, next to the chimney and down to the gutter, it looks (to me) like cement fix. If from the original you thing that bit around the chimney is a tear/blemish I can cover that bit up with tiles and if you think the all they way down to the gutter is a blemish I will have a go at repairing that bit as well.
