    Don't know the exact year the school was built. I would assume there would be some colliery rows built when the colliery was due to start production. The Durham Mining Museum does not have a year against when the colliery was opened but it does have 1982 as the first year coal was output. The First Edition of the OS map of the Cambois area held on the National Library of Scotland is 1859 (published 1865) and there is no colliery or houses. The Second Edition - 1896 (published 1898) shows the colliery, many pit rows and the school etc.

  3. @Dave Cordes - if you whish to tag a member so that they are notified then you can use the @ before the members name. The tag only works when you start with the @ followed by the members name and selecting the full name from the list that the system throws up eg @M and the system will give the names and then you select the name you want :- @M and you will get @Mark J
  4. @Mark J I keep checking this topic annd my posting of your comment on thr Bygone Bedlington(BB) gtoup. There are no new posts on the BB group but I will leave it open and let you know if antone else comes up with something that may help your Have you and @Dave Cordes passed info to each other? And Has Teresa Charlton or her dad emailed you with any info? Alan
  5. @Mark J this is what @Dave Cordes posted on the Bygone Bedlington group :-
  6. @Mark J I have sent you a private messgae via the service in this group = envelope in the top right hand corder of your screen.
  7. Posted a screen shot of your initial comment on the Bygone Bedlington group and I will copy any replies that may help you into this topic.
  8. Yep you will have to start from scratch and invite all your friends to the new account. The advrts are a paiin but normally by reloading the page via the circle with arrowhead on at the top left the adverts sometimes stop - but unfortunately not always. However if you visit one of the groups , eg. Bygone Bedlington the latest advert(s) are blocked out and when you go back to your hame page the advert(s) should have gone
  9. @Mark J searched on the FB group Bygone Bedlington and the only postings on the group about the Welwyn are group photos of office parties among the female workers, What if I screen shot your first comment and posted that on the Bygone Bedlington site and see what response it gets?
  10. Welcome to the group @Mark J Although everyone in Bedlington would have known of the Welwyn and people who worked there there has been very little mention on the facotry and staff that I can remember or find photos of. If you select the Gallery section of this group and enter the one word - Welwyn - into the search box at the far right of the screen you will get a link to every comment that has been made that contains the word Welwyn. @loopylou created an album - Welwyn Photos - in the Gallery section but there are only three photos that she had fond in her family home but no info with the photos and neither of them were taken inside the factory. I knowm there are a couple of ex Welwyn workkers who use the Facebook (FB) group, Bygone Bedlington, but I can't remember many photos having been posted within that group. I will havve a search of the FB group and see what I can find and if there is anything that fits what you are looking for I wil ask those that posted the info if it's ok to share with this group.
  11. @Mal - I take it this is a photo fed into some AI software to make the video? Or have you found a singing Bedlington Terrier
  12. @threegee Err... how would I have known of the bedlington.uk mail server? Within this site I have only been aware of the internal Mail service allowing members to communictae privately between each other I'm happy with the services outside of this site I currently use. If you wanted members to use an alternative service then should there not be something in the blue memu bar above giving members the option to check it out?

  14. I am a member of Facebook to allow me access to the the local FB groups like Bygone Bedlington. That's where the majority of the school album photos within this site have come from. Are you telling me there is an email service from this group to the outside world. Or are you writing about the 'Mail' service within this site that members of this group can use to message other members of this group.
  15. @HIGH PIT WILMA @HIGH PIT WILMA - you used to be able to have multiple FB accounts by usinng different email addresses and I expect that is still the case. I'm not sure how far FB goes in the validation of your details if you create another account. I dont know if the unique IP address of the device you use to connect to the outside world services is validated by the sevices we connect to. I have two email services. One with btinternet and one with gmail. I use the my btinternet address to connect into FB and the rest of the world via Google and my gmail to connect to the rest of the world via Microsoft Edge. Do you know if your FB ban is permanent or a temporay one? I have just been talking to one of the sons-in-law and he said the lads he works with have been banned for comments etc they have posted but he tells me they were only temporary bans and the lads got back into their FB accounts.
  16. Morning @HIGH PIT WILMA - I haven't been banned but about 4 or 5 years ago I did get a warning off Facebook, and my post removed, on the Facebook group Past Times History Group when I posed a photo of the 1960's topless girl band the Ladybirds. I posted it because another member had asked if anyone could remember what the 1960s topless group was called. So I haven't combined my Googling with FB anymore If I see anything on the FB groups on Bedlington or Bates Pit I will copy them onto this site for you
  17. @Canny lass That's the info I found when I was searching for muggers Corner a few years ago. I found it on the https://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/ site :-
