Cheers John - my next guess would be that I have used all the space allocated to Eggy1948. Again I am guessing but I think my allocation of space will have to be increased and the system will have to be reloaded to pick up the new allocation. Like the technical bit we would explain to the wife when we fixed an electrical device by switching it ON & OFF when they weren't looking! I will see if I can add comments, and photos, into the Album you have created. Eggy

I will attempt to make contact with the originator - Allana. I did send her a comment a couple of weeks ago but no response.

New technology or just the old - allocated space or indexes for new album? If I create four corner slits/slots on my screen I could just slot in each photo as I go through the albums. I could use an envelope - of any size from DL, C5, C6/C5, C6, C7/C6, C7, C8, C9 and C10 under the standard letter rate as long as they aren't too thick, 5mm, or too heavy, 100g, and post the photos to the bedlington.co.uk office. Just uploaded and posted a photo in the Barrington County Primary School album. So I have gone metric and had upload success all in one day. New technology, bring it on.

No 13 Robert Middleton, says Michael Murray and No 17, could be Shelia Gibinson - says Yvonne Williamson (No 10). Debate over No 15 - Margaret or Mary Short.

Are you feeding up the Turkeys Vic? Weighing them whilst feeding to see when they are ready to harvest!

Isn't life brilliant, errors resolved on loading images into existing Albums but now another opportunity just presents itself. Attempting to create a new Album in 'Historic Bedlington' but when attempting to upload an image (10.54 x 6.84 ins = 237KB) at the ' Stage 1 - Create New Album - Drag files here to attach, or choose files...' I am returned with - 'There was a problem uploading a file'. Ensured there were no other programs holding onto the file but same result. Screen dump to show the error + the photo in question attached, without problem into this posting :-

Barrington County primary School, replacing the village school, was built in 1913, away from the colliery, close to Rotledge's Buildings. Information from Evan Martin's The Archive Photographs series - Bedlingtonshire :- "When the new school was opened in 1913, no one was more pleased than headmaster Ben Berkley............... Berkley had taken up the job in Barrington in 1878 and was 21 years old and stayed 44 years.He lived in the village school house until 1905 when he and his family moved to Willow Bridge, where he died in 1932. The photograph, added to the map, is from Evan Martin's book -

Update of names from Margaret Corbett & Steve Davies -
Cheers James - photo updated -
Many months ago I emailed the DMM some photos of Barrington pit a mate had sent me. Just asked if they would like them to add into the site bu they were never added and I never got any acknowledgement from them. I emailed them a second time, after allowing time for two of their monthly 'committee' meetings to have taken place, but still no response. Just checked and photos still not added to their 'Gallery Images' page.

CM - Durham Mining Museum web site, 'Researchers' on-line form - I expect this is the route you are taking attempting to gain access to the 'full report' but just in case it's not you now have another route :-

Although Keith had this photo labelled as 'Mr Dick's class - 1971 (maybe)' this photo would be before September 1969, when the school was burnt down. -

Has anyone any info, stories etc. on the school that is labelled on the 1896 map approximately where Hollymount Square is now? Just noticed it the last time I had the map loaded and when I checked on the next map, revised 1920, the abbreviation 'Sch.' on the 1896 map had been replaced with the abbreviation 'Misn. Rm.' The ordnance survey list of abbreviations shows 'Misn.' = Mission. Nothing for the 'RM.' that I would assume is Room. I could go to the Woodhorn museum but I'm not desperate, just curious.

Any candidates up for this Malcolm?
