Above photo posted by @johndawsonjune1955 on the Facebook Past Times History Group. As kids coming home from Barrington CP School through the pit yard we often stopped to try and catch small fish, sticklebacks I think, from the pond using a piece of grass with a worm slid between the split end of a long piece of grass. When the fish wrapped it's mouth around the worm and you felt the tug on the grass you pulled the grass out of the water and the fish was still on the end of the worm -

Bedlington iron and engine works, 1736-1867
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Kev Short's topic in History Hollow
@Kev Short never seen any plans for the construction of the buildings . We played in the area of the houses in your second photo in the late 1950's and early 1960's but can't recall anything about them. A you have been searching/Googling online I would assume you have accessed all the info and photos that anyone else in this group has had access to. Graces Guide gies a lot of info on the Iron Works but no plans ;- https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Bedlington_Ironworks On the group https://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/ under Bedlington/Plans there a couple of documents refering to the iron Works and one might help you with the layouut of area adjoing the iron Works but nothing in the detail and info you are looking for. -
