    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 🙂

    The following comment was posted on Facebook - Bedlington Remembered group :- Lynne Watson This is the photo I mentioned the other day in a different thread. My aunt worked in Cobbledicks shop which is the one on the very right of the photo almost hidden. My Dad found this photo many years ago and got a copy made. This image shows more of the building :- Has anyone ever heard of Cobbledicks ?

    @Rigger - if I share this image on the Bedlington Facebook sites I would hope we could get some of his lot identified - Ok if I do that?

    @Rigger - was the Bedlington Community Centre - Creatives Group, that have done a lot of research on Bedlington soldiers to create their 'Poppy Map' one of the usual sources you have tried? They produced a list of Bedlington Soldiers' 'Poppy Map' and I believe they have retained info that they uncovered in their research :- http://www.bedlingtoncommunitycentre.co.uk/ Address: 60 W End Front St, Bedlington NE22 5UB Phone: 01670 824141

    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.

    Too technical for me - just checked and the upload photo is back to 34 x 25.5 - I'll ask the wife, or perhaps 3g can deviate from the original topic and explain this
  18. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    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.

    Photo from Helen Millar - Facebook Bygone Bedlington

    From the album: Local Football 2

    The team was first thought to be a Bedlington Mechanics team but from the names that had been identified in Facebook and some research in old newspapers Ovalteeny commented :- From team sheets I've seen in old copies of the Morpeth Herald I would say that this is West Sleekburn Welfare FC.
