@Canny lass - on the BBC site it only gives the dates for the first 4 of the 10 episodes on BBC2. They start this Thursday - episode 1 on the 2nd and episode 2 on the 3rd. Episode 3 & 4 on the 9th & 10th. This is a direct ling to the site :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001s1qv/episodes/guideCheers @Maggie/915 - I will download a copy and pass it on the John Doc Waldoc who is the Admin of the Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/142987372446009 = Old Photo's of Holywell & Seaton Delaval & Seghill & Hartley,Sluice,W/bay.@7RIrF - as yet no further comments from the Barringto group. I'm assuming you have had a look at the 'Rigger' web documented, 'Bedlington soldiers who died in the great wat' that he created. When Rigger was doing his project another member @Maggie/915 who has been involved in various research projects about the Bedlington area kept some info onwho dreck was involved with and passed info to. This is an extract that Maggie/915 had and might have some contacts within it that you 'might' find helpful :- That is the only info I have..thumb.jpg.abd0cee8d891a2e5a8e477c5e8c83373.jpg)

Yes Captain Mainwairing
Unfortunately CL I am at the stage where I don't want to start learning, and paying a monthly charge for, some new 'photshop' software . I enjoy the world moving forward and advancements in all fields progressing and making the working day easier for the professionals but I'm in my little world using the Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 (MDI) software that I clarted with for many months finding out what I could achieve. When I first bought a new Desktop with Windows 7 I did export the MDI software from the vista PC and import it on the Windows 7 PC but the software wouldn't load so I have kept the old PC going for the last 5 years. I have, three weeks ago, replaced my Windows 11 Desktop PC (that one daughter said wasn't 'fit for purpose' ) for a new PC with i5 16GB processor and if I was into gaming I would have gone for the i7 with 32GB RAM but I am not into gaming, just clartingJames - when i first discovered the NLS site I remeber it took me a while, and a lot of trial and error to work my way through the menus to get to the area = Bedlington I was looking for. To save me the hassle of trying to remeber how i finally got to the Bedlingtonshire area maps I 'bookmarked' the page I was at within my Google chrome search so now i always go to the same place and start from there if I am checking on anywhere else in the area. This is the Bookmark link I saved so you should be able to save it into your search engine :- https://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/#zoom=13.0&lat=55.13580&lon=-1.64090&layers=102&b=1&z=0&point=55.1326,-1.5691 Using this as a starting point your can see down the right of the screen the maps, with the years that are available, so you can select/click on one and zoom into the particular area you are after. Hope that helps EggyBBC news latest update :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67149907?fbclid=IwAR3azyuk2WG0XaKDM2smXxrlGqbFyE_MhhPSVEViAKTC6_km1hw5mmdsxts
Oops my mistake in my text but atleast I got it right in the photo. Unfortunately there is only a 10minute widow for editting comments after they have been posted so I can't change mine
Thankyou - photo added to the album.
No 31 named by @carly and no 19 thought to be a possible :-
@carly would it be OK if I add your photo to the Whitley Memorial school album in the 'Gallery/Historic Bedlington' section of this group? This is a direct link to the album :-
Unfortunately CL I have passed my 4 year old DeskTop PC + the wireless keyboard from my new PC to one of the grandsons who is going to set the PC up for his oldest son, aged 8, to play and learn from so I can't tell you how I managed to get a screen shot as I tried a few keys, with TLAs/shortened names/symbols on that I have never had before. I now have my 4 year old wired keyboard plugged into my new PC so it's back to the simple method of using the 'Shift + Print Scrn' just to the right of the 12 Function keys. On my 4 year old PC I had always 'cropped' my screen prints by 'Paste'ing them into a blank file within a free piece of Microsoft software - Paint 3D Microsoft. When I wanted to add text etc. to a posted photo or screen shot I pass the image to my Windows Vista Desktop PC that has the even older software (not available on Windows 7,8,10 or 11) = Microsoft Digital Image pro 10.
Unfortunately my old Microsft Digital Image Pro 10 is no longer available on the Windows 7 to 11 platform. I have tried a few of the new 'photoshopping' products but just couldn't get them to do what I had learned, over a couple of years, to do with my old software.. I'm hoping the old PC lasts out longer than me or I will be stuck with nowt to keep me occupied
@Canny lass I posted the photo + the info from @carly on the Bygone Bedlington (BB) Facebook group and there have been a load of replies from members who had relatives that had lived in Coach Road and had attended the Vulcan place School = the Whitley Memorial. Normally I would take a scree-shot of the comments and paste the into a picture file to post within this group. However since posting on the BB group I have replaced my aging Desktop PC with a new one and the new keyboard is driving me mad. The new keyboard dosem't have a 'Prt scr' button and although I have found a way to get a screen shot I haven't found a way to get it into a picture file. (The software I add the names and info to the jpg school photos etc I play with is no longer available and I have an even older PC with that software on. The software only runs on Windows Vista and I transfer (via email) the files I clart with from one PC to the other. I can still do that but screen shots and saving and editing them has me beat.) After I posted on the BB group 'carly' joined the group and these are some of the replies (not screen shots just copy and paste of text) that she has recieved :- Kathleen Newcombe Egen Carly, I have a family of Weddles in Coach Road. Spelling does change but could be related. Im in my 70's so obviously a lot older than you. My Granny was Hannah who died of the Spanish flu in 1917. I'll have to search out info I have of the family... lovely to see the pics. Janet Jackson Top contributor This photo is great. My grandmother Mary Isabella Waddell/Waddle was born in 1878 and lived in Coach Road and would have been 14 at the time of this photo. However I know she was away in service in Longhorsley from the age of 8 so the Mary Waddell in the picture may not be her Ann Bower Vulcan school was the old Whitley Memorial School, it burned down around 1970ish. I had only been there a few weeks at the time & think I was 9 but could be wrong on the year. Judith Bosomworth Top contributor I would have said Vulcan school was the whitley school as based in Vulcan Place
