  1. Welcome to the site @Appleby There are a few postings where the rows and families of netherton Colliery get a mention and the best way to view them is by using the - Search - facility at the top right hand of the 'Discussion' screen. If you enter the word Appleby in the box and enter that youu will get a ling to any comment that has used that word. If you wanted to search for a phrase like Clifton Row then add quotation marks either side of the phrase - "Clifton Row" There have been a few members who were raised in netherton Colliery but I think theren is only one member from the area that still regularily visits and helps the members of this site and that is @Canny lass. In the gallery section there are albums on various subjects and there are some on Netherton & Nedderton. When you select the gallery section from the menu at the top of the page you scroll down to the Historic bedlington section, select that then there are 4 pages of albums. When you select an album you can click on any photo/image within the album and you will see any comments that have been made in respect of image. This is a direct link to one of the albums :-

  5. Hilton Dawson posted a group of photos on the Cambois Facebook group with this comment :- 'My Mam, Sally Dawson (1924-2010) was Sally Renner when she had her first job in teaching at Cambois Primary School from 1946-1952. Mam clearly loved it there, she forever described those years as her ‘best in teaching’ & would often talk very warmly about ‘Cambois’ Two names from Pat Robinson on the Cambois Facebook group :-

    Cambois Infant / Junior School

    Don't know the exact year the school was built. I would assume there would be some colliery rows built when the colliery was due to start production. The Durham Mining Museum does not have a year against when the colliery was opened but it does have 1982 as the first year coal was output. The First Edition of the OS map of the Cambois area held on the National Library of Scotland is 1859 (published 1865) and there is no colliery or houses. The Second Edition - 1896 (published 1898) shows the colliery, many pit rows and the school etc.

The tag only works when you start with the @ followed by the members name and selecting the full name from the list that the system throws up eg @M and the system will give the names and then you select the name you want :- @M and you will get @Mark J

  18. Yep you will have to start from scratch and invite all your friends to the new account. The advrts are a paiin but normally by reloading the page via the circle with arrowhead on at the top left the adverts sometimes stop - but unfortunately not always. However if you visit one of the groups , eg. Bygone Bedlington the latest advert(s) are blocked out and when you go back to your hame page the advert(s) should have gone
  19. @Mark J searched on the FB group Bygone Bedlington and the only postings on the group about the Welwyn are group photos of office parties among the female workers, What if I screen shot your first comment and posted that on the Bygone Bedlington site and see what response it gets?
