  1. Names, supplied by Facebook members from Bedlington Remembered, Bygone Bedlington & sixtownships groups added to the photo.
  2. From the album: Bedlington Station Secondary Modern School

    Photo from Martha Keenan (née Masters) - Bygone Bedlington Facebook group
  3. clanbull - This is Kingsley Wake = No 11 on this 1955 photo - he was named by Alan Dickson, No 8, and Ernie McGeorge (not in this photo). As this is Class 6, end of term photo, they would all be 11 years old (or a few days off) in this photo, ready to move on to the senior schools in September 1955.
  4. No 12 = Derek Johnson says a young lady, from the same year group, Lorraine Gilmour (nee Armstrong) now living in Canada.
  5. I'll see if I can find a football photo, with Kingsley on, to post in the Bedlington Grammar School Album. Across the field from your house at Roslind Park would be Gordon Harnet & Tony Green that Derek often hung around with. The lads I remember from your street, heading up to Fontburn & Coquetdale, would be George Darling, Jimmy Cummings, Ian Chochrane, & George Frazer. I'll repost the photo when I have updated the names.
  6. Cheers clanbull - I knew Kingsley Wake, and the butcher's shop at the Oval. There are quite a few football team photos of online with Kingsley on (late teens & early 20s, not 10 years old like this one), I would never have worked out it was him. My memory has him as ginger, slightly wavy/curly, not straight blonde. When you say No 16 = Margaret Clouds do you mean No 17 that I have as Margaret Douds? I lived in No 5 Coquetdale Place and was 2 years below this lot at Barrington CP - No 10 is my brother, but he is no longer with us.
  7. Barry Hunter - Bygone Bedlington site says - That's wor Anne. No 17 could be Flo Anderton, says me. No 1 Tut Thomas, No 7 one of the Williams lads, sooth Raa - No 3 Dodda Marshall - No 10 Joe Stewart & No 13 could be Roly Davies, says Alan Dickson of the Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!! Facebook group site.
  8. Remember there was a - Jean Moralee. Could that be the one you are thinking of, No 26?
  9. clanbull - posted the photo, with your updates, on facebook group - Bygone bedlington - and Lillian Wilkinson (could be Lillian Shields) added a comment :- '24 Anne Blyth? 25 Brenda Mynott 29 Irene Hutton 36 is Elaine Aisbett 37 is Margaret Scott.16 Edith Robertson.' So what do your reckon for No 36 - Ann Lawson or Elaine Aisbett? Now that Elaine's name is in the mix I think it could be. I was mates with Elaine's younger brother David in the 1960s. There was also an older sister Margaret and they lived at No 1, Waverley Avenue.
  10. Cheers clanbull - numbers added + your 3 names and a few more from Alan Dickson (Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!! = Facebook group) I thought this was class 3 and therfore c1954 but now believe it is Class 5 and therefore 1957 as my brother, Derek Edgar, left Barrington CP, from Class 6, in 1958.
  11. Grattis på födelsedagen Canny lass
  12. No 1 - Terry Nicholson says No 2 John Krzyanowski.
  13. Posted on the Sixtownships site by Freddie Wagstaff asking what it was and Keith Grimes commented :- Submersible pump. Used in the shaft bottom, the lifting eyes are for raising and lowering. For the non miners amongst us, every shaft has a sump the bottom of the shaft to collect water, pumped out by these beasts. Shaft sumps usually had more than one for backup. They could be lowered to water level. They were a bugger to repair/maintain........... HPW - what do you reckon?
  14. Eddie Dickson - No 16 - has named a few :-
  15. From the album: St. Bede's Primary & Senior School

    From John Dawson's collection on Facebook - sixtownships group
  16. Grace now says number 26 is not her sister Jackie, it's her sister Alice. No 20, according to Isobel Jones on Bygone Bedlington, is not Elizabeth Ord it's Marie Konispeck.
  17. jimmcglen - name update. Grace, on the Bedlington Remembered Facebook site says No 26 could be her sister - Jackie Fitzgibbon.
  18. Youtube clip by John Ashford - End of Coal Mining in Northumbria, featuring local lads
  19. Sorry moe19 - not the pipes with the lights attached but the girders/beams making the frame of the building. I've split the photo into 4 and enlarged them slightly.
  20. It's the 'sky-lights' and what appears to be a steel frame supporting the roof that confuses me.
  21. This photo posted on Bygone Bedlington - part of the comment with it is :- .....' but the caption says "Bedlington A leekshow". I don't know whether this refers to the pit or it is just a leek show, but the "A" is in capitals so maybe the pit?' The 'A' pit colliery institute, 1024 aerial photo, does not show any glass in the roof, all tiles. Another comment was '..........there was talk that it might be the old scout hut that was along from the Wharton arms' Anyone any idea?
  22. Cheers James - I will update my photo, replacing Shirt Factory with Planned Maintenance Office. I still can't find the original posting of the photo, with the comments, so I can't update that - somebody will still believe that those offices were the shirt factory!
  23. Pilgrim - I have this photo saved on my PC with 'Shiney Row' & 'Shirt Factory' labelled, by me. I have searched this site and the 3 Facebook sites where many old Bedlington images are posted but I can't find it and therefore can't say who originally posted it. I would suspect john Dawson and I have just added the labels from the comments made with the posting :-
