    Netherton Colliery Silver Model Band 1906
    One other band photo on the IBEW site is Netherton Colliery Silver Model Prize Band. The Bass drum in each photo appears to be the same one. I have not scrutinize the faces in both photos to see if it is the same band, but you would expect that Netherton only had the one brass band.

    Netherton Colliery Silver Model Band 1906

    From the album: Netherton/Nedderton old photos 2

    Searching the www for local pit bands and their banners Google threw up a site, Internet Bandsman's Everything Within (IBEW) that collects colliery brass band photos from the UK AND the rest of the world. I have been in contact with the web sites owner/webmaster, Gavin Holman and is aim is to allow everyone, in the world, access to the site and the info that has been gathered - extract of email from Gavin :- 'Alan Feel free to use any of the images as you wish. I'm happy to support any initiatives that maintain the links to the past and preserve memories etc. Of course, in years gone by, the miners' picnics were a major feature of the life of the pits in the north. It is sad that none remain (as far as I know) and only the Durham Miners' Gala exists as a reminder of the hundreds of pits, miners and bands of the past. Gavin' Link to the Vintage Brass Band Pictures UK index is :- http://www.ibew.org.uk/vbbp-uk.htm Unfortunately I could find no additional info to go with the each named photo - wysiwyg.

    Nedderton Junior Group 3 - no date
    Whilst looking for info on Netherton Village I came across the Northumberland Communities site and on there were some extracts from the old school logs of 1919, closed school early & 1920, the kids have been cleaned up!

    Bedlington Station Club
    The Club Committee Members - 1970s - photo from John Richardson - Bygone Bedlington Facebook group - posted with this comment :- Here is one from my dads collection. It is the Station W M Club committee I guess from the 1970s. My dad gave me my membership card on my 18th birthday. We had some good nights there, hard to imagine we had to queue to get in at weekends, Christmas etc. My dad Joe, is third from right on the back row. I know some of the others, Bill Crosby, Jack Chapman and Jack Routledge but struggle with the other names, perhaps members could name them? Within 2 days a name supplied for everyone in the photo, three not 100%

    Can't do any harm HPW. I think it you created a couple of topics in History Hollow or Chat Central, say one for each school, then I could 'copy & paste' each separate class list of names into a photo/image/jpg file and add them as individual entries in the Whitley Memorial & Westridge Albums. That way any member could then comment and/or update each Album entry and we shouldn't get the class names mixed up.

    Names updated on the photo HPW and I have posted the updated photo back on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group site and 'tagged' Jim Hardy. I will see if he replies and see if there are any more updates before I upload here. There was also a comment on the Facebook site from a David Walker, and it was him that identified himself, No 22, in the photo. So I 'tagged' him as well using your ear wiggling story to see if he reacts to that.

    @Symptoms - the rest of the world is convinced that No 18 is Alan (not Simon) Temple and that also applies to No 8 on your WESTRIDGE 4 photo.
