Reedy asked his dad, born 1928, and Reedy reported back with :- Although before his time he thinks the building to the right of the clock house was a wages or timekeepers office. There was a shop on the Bebside bank on the opposite side of the bridge at the bottom of the hairpin bend run by a family called Munley. Lynne Watson - replied - Paul Reed thank you - that will be it. I do apologise for getting the shop in the wrong place 🙂

Date of photo updated to October 1951 following Ovalteeny's research at the Woodhorn Colliery Archives - the photo was found whilst looking through some old copies of The Blyth News/Ashington Post and he came across this very same photo. It was in an edition from late 1955 but it stated that it was a retrospective photo from October 1951.

Couldn't prove it Steve, but if you take a copy or check the original, your photo is H34" x W25.5" so the system might have turned it 90 degrees to fit. Made him back into a small dog = H6.0 x W4.5 However first attempt even though I had downloaded the large image; shrunk it to 6x4.5, saved it the uploaded the new file, using 'png' format this system created the file portrait but back to 34 x 25.5. Saved the downloaded file in 'jpg' format - deleted, via edit, the uploaded png file and selected the jpg file for uploading - this time file size has still altered but only to 7" x 5" (approx).

From John Burn Admin on the Cambois Facebook group site Saturday, April 21st will be 50 years since the closure of Cambois Pit. As a means to celebrate, some of the very pitmen who worked there are organizing a night at Cambois Club and they hope that any miners who worked at the pit can join them, as are any descendants. My dad tells me that at the 25th anniversary, back in 1983 - people came as far as from the West Midlands to join in and see old faces. Obviously since that time, many pitmen have passed on. But it will be great to remember them. Please feel free to share this message as far and wide as possible.
