    Posted on Facebook, Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!!, by Susan Humble.
  2. No 17 = Alan Harnett.
  3. Just posted this and an update already - No 9 = Dave Adey not Ross Dixon
  4. From the album: Barrington County Primary School

    Posted on Facebook, Bygone Bedlington,by Irene McGeorge.
  5. HPW - George Mitcheson is a member of the Bedlington Remebered Facebook group and he has added some names to the latest photo. He did say that the photo was not Upper Remove as there are pupils from 4 different years on the photo. I replied to him saying I had no idea how the Westridge Remove system worked but had no further reply. Perhaps the answer is close to us - Bluebary or Canny Lass. I will do my best to get some more names for the Village School photo and I will (when the system allows me) add the photo, with names, into the Gallery - Historic Bedlington -Bedlington Village School album. I could pass the photo to Brian Redpath's niece but I have no idea if her uncle is still around. All the Westridge photos you have commented on, that have posted in various topics, plus a few from Facebook groups, have also been added to an album - Westridge School - End of term class photos. Update on the latest Westridge photo is - Allana that posted the photo is the daughter of No 9 Christine Sutcliffe. She says her mam has more photos so I asked her to post them :-
  6. HPW - would you like me to try and find out, from Bedlington Facebook sites Bygone Bedlington & Bedlington remembered, any more names or do you want this photo to stay on this site only? Otherwise HPW might be identified! Would you like the photo uploaded (when Admin sort out my current upload fault) into the 'Bedlington Village School' album on this site? If yes then with or without names added to the photo and No 1 labelled as H.P.W. ?
  7. 3g - 4g - Help! I Remain, Singing & Dancing, but 'Add Images' or 'Create New Album' doesn't like me!
  8. 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
  9. I will attempt to make contact with the originator - Allana. I did send her a comment a couple of weeks ago but no response.
  10. Just tried to create another Album, different photo but same result = There was a problem uploading the file
  11. Getting back to the original posting - St. Cuthberts School. Link to the updated plans posted on Bygone Bedlington by John Krzyzanowski :- https://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=ODWEF2QSK2B00
  12. Cheers Jim R - names update, the Barrington lot agree with you - Michael not Jimmy.
  13. HPW - Thank you
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Are you feeding up the Turkeys Vic? Weighing them whilst feeding to see when they are ready to harvest!
  17. 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 :-

  20. 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
  21. The first Barrington village school was built close to the colliery
