    This is the only photo of the Welfare Park area at Bedlington Station that I have but no visible proof, just me mam's writing on the back - 'A' Pit Gala Day, so this will be on the football field, I guess. As me dad was not a pit man, and me mam's dad & brothers were all the Dr. Pit, the only time we would of had any tickets for the 'A' pit gala I would suspect if our next door neighbour's, Jim Temple & family were away on holiday and gave us their tickets.

    Lollipop was all I could come up with but witches hat is ringing a bell. I remember after we would get board with going round and round as fast as we could we would start swinging, the whole witches hat, too and fro so the metal ring at the top would clank off the central pole. Still can't find the images of any of the buildings - there are a couple with the local football in front of one of them. @HIGH PIT WILMA - did the Dr Pit Welfare Park have a 'quoits bay'? I know there is a photo, with the tag :- councillor Dick Hindhaugh opening the quoits bay at the Bedlington Welfare Park - but don't know which park - Bedlington Station or Dr Pit.

    This is one image I had saved when I was looking around - Google satellite image - 2015 + the 2014 Artists impression of the new school - and Tanglewood Cottage in the bottom left corner

    @kalee - I have asked, and searched, on a couple of Facebook sites but never managed to get any photos of the rides etc. When the new school was being built I was doing the same as you Kalee - driving down and seeing what was left. I remember doing some checking on Tanglewood Cottage but I can't find, at the moment, the info I turned up. I seem to remember a relative of the occupants of the cottage saying how they had objected on the Northumberland County Council planning site but got nowhere. I will try and find the info I turned up. Although I couldn't find any photos of the actual park rides these are images, from other parks, of the rides I remember :-

    A member of the sixtownships site has said the lady physio in the photo with just three inmates on is Joyce Miller. Both photos updated :-
  7. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    @Marie Sillars - Doug now says No 19 is Joyce Miller.
  8. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    Posted the photo on the Bedlington remembered Facebook site Marie and Dough reckons No 20 is Heather, but can't remember her surname. He also says that there was a physio call Joyce Miller that was known as the 'Daffodil Lady' - if a patient could grip a daff, between their butt cheeks, after back and leg physio, they were on the mend.'

    Ok - I just assumed it was under your control and you would want to know. I'm not after any gadgets - just clarting

    @Andy Millne - @threegee - I was looking at the 'Discussion' page and this link was displayed. I gave it a 'click' but it didn't get me onto any site. The address it passed to Google was :- https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/amzn.to/2hQQNeA

    @Marie Sillars - can't even find the photo on the sixtowships site
  12. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    @Marie Sillars - can't tell you who they are Marie. If you select the johndawsonjune1955 tag, next to his posting/comment, you will see his profile and see it was April 2015when John last logged into the site. John runs a Facebook site - the sixtownships history group as well as a sister group, Coal Mining Memories UK where I think he will also have posted this photo. I will see if I can find it on the sixtownships site and see if anyone in the photo has been named.

    @Symptoms - a Janice Robinson on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group has just posted the comment - No 21 is Stephen Donald. What do you think?

    How man parents will have seen that look on a child's face and worked out immediately that they were full of something, therefore a PM candidate.

    Would this, Real Ales and dog friendly, be real competition for JD Wetherspoon - The Red Lion? Is the Red Lion dog friendly?

    @Canny lass - from the names you have given I do remember bringing up the fact that my sister-in-law, Betty Hall, was identified by you in one of the class photos. I can't find any photo with Betty named on it so it must have been this one. I could either say a) it was my memory that had failed and I hadn't totally forgot to do anything with the photo or b ) we were in that transitional period on this site when I was having numerous fails attempting to load photos and when Andy sorted out the problems my memory had still failed to remember what I had been doing! So while everything, including my short term memory, is working your list of names added to the photo

    Numbers added and I haven't attempted to guess a name - all yours. I have a copy prepared to enter the names on.
