Whilst discussing an Album in the Gallery with a new member, @Alison Waters she commented :- just a message for the administrator of this page - I can only get on if I turn off my firewall for 15 mins. Not sure what causes that but just thought I'd mention it as it may be putting off other users. I don't know all the 'ins-and-outs' of Alison's system just a few bits and wondered if the following info would spark a solution, for Alison, from @Andy Millne or @threegee. I asked Alison what security software she was running and she replied :- Google chrome plus Malwarebytes and McAfee. I know that's not a lot of info but there just might be something recorded within the bedlington.co.uk logs recording the problem that Alison is having that Admin can use to identify the cause of her problem

I see I had forgotten to add that one to Westridge School - End of term class photos album in the Gallery. I have updated No 7, from Johnson to Johnstone, and I will post it in the Gallery album. Will it be 1957 @Rigger - 1956 seems too early for Westridge?

Photo from Jeff Slaughter Snr. posted on Facebook group Bedlington remembered. None of names printed on the image could be made out. Two members of the Facebook group commented :- Heather Curtis The lady 2nd from left is my late grandma Harriet Lee (1st Lady councillor of Bedlington In this photo, who then became 1st lady Chairwoman of Bedlington in 1956) Alan Brady My grandad Adam Mair third from the left front row. Wilf Halliday, I think, fifth from the left front row. @Malcolm Robinson & @Russ Wallace - do they have a rogues galley in the council offices where this group could be identified?

Teacher standing on the left is Jim Wood and the Headteacher sitting on the right is Ben Bekley. Evan Martin commented, on a staff photo, in his book - Images of England, Bedlingtonshire - :- When the new school was opened in Barrington in 1913, no one was more pleased than Headmaster Ben Berkley pictured here in 1920 with his staff, with Jim Wood on the right. Berkley had taken up the job at Barrington in 1878 when he was twenty-one years old and stayed for forty years. He lived in he school house until 1905 when he and his family moved to Willowbridge where he died in 1932. -

Names added from Facebook - Barnton & Bedlington groups :-

@Marie Cousens - although we don't have any photos from your husbands family era there are some interesting old photos in albums within the Gallery under Historic Bedlington What you will find is hat 90% of the photos are whats known locally as 'The Top End'. There is very little on the Bedlington Station area. The Bedlington Station area was know as Sleekburn and the name Bedlington Station appears to have been adopted when the Bedlington railway station opened, in Sleekburn, in 1850. Have a browse of the Gallery and ask away in this topic or the Gallery albums. Be prepared for some 'pitmatic' answers to any questions you may ask.

And me @Vic Patterson - I was blaming my old Windows Vista + Google Chrome PC that I use 98% of the time = big screen - big keyboard - easy for me to use. Yesterday I tried my Laptop - Windows 10 - Microsoft Edge and I get the same result = a small 'icon' and nothing else (I just added the arrow to point out the icon)

@George Campbell - I re-posted the updated photo with the names plus info you supplied on the Facebook group Bedlington Remembered. One comment, from @Ovalteeny,who during his research of the history of the Bedlington Mechanics team has also obtained info on all the local teams in the area, commented :- from the list of players per team that I've complied from 1946 through to 1955 (by dredging through copies of old Blyth News / Ashington Post / Morpeth Heralds) I cannot see this bunch all playing for the same club, at the same time, on any given season. I'm pretty sure it's not Bedlington Mechanics FC, it's not Dr. Pit Welfare FC (they played in green & white stripes). Also, it doesn't look like Millne Park. Therefore, my current conclusion is that this is more likely to be a Charity/Friendly team, probably a Top Club versus Bottom Club match. It would really help if someone could accurately provide the year the photo was taken. ' After what Ovalteeny has said Is there anything else you could add that would help? -
Photo updated @George Campbell - a member, Tom Shephard, on the Facebook Bedlington group commented :- Number 13 is Robert "Bob" Turnbull, my wife's uncle, we also have this photo.

@benjymous :- it's not something I have seriouslr researched, just a few Google searches for, but when looking at the old Maps (1800's to 1947) and seeing Netherton Hall in Netherton, not Nedderton as I expected, I searched the www and found an answer. If you look in the album there is an entry from Kelly's Trade Directory of 1910 where it refers to the village of Netherton, Rothbury. If you want to check out that Netherton then Google/search for The Star Inn 3 Cherrywell, Netherton, Morpeth NE65 7HD. As post got directed to the wrong Netherton it was decided, for postal purposes our Netherton should be addressed as Nedderton. As you say benjmous from then the maps still identified the place as Netherton but eventually the village inhabitants, and therefore amenities, adopted the postal address as their name. If you scroll down in the Album you will also see an extract from Parson & White Trade Directory - 1828 with a bit about the Nedirton family that owned some property in Netherton Village. From the old maps you will see there was mining in the Netherton/Nedderton Village but where the NCB took over Howard Pit & Francis Pit that part of Netherton was known as Netherton Colliery and it had Netherton Colliery as it's postal address so it didn't have to change as everyone knew it as the colliery. That's what I discovered via Google and left it at that. @Canny lass may have a more detailed explanation as she has done a lot more research of the area she grew up in. ps. - just remembered the Northumberland Communities site. On this site is a list of all the local communities and each one has it's own pages with some info and photos ( that have made their way on to many a Facebook group as originals!) - Nedderton is in the list, with the Parson and White Trade Directory (1827), under Printed Material. -

Is there still an issue with the webcam or is it just my old system that won't allow me to select any of the items in the 'Info' drop down menu? The normal four items are listed but when I attempt to select any of them the menu closes -
