    Barrington County Primary
    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

    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 :-

    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.
