  1. @Maggie/915 although your uploaded file has a MOV = Quick Time Movies my system won't play it. I just get a few seconds of the group playing🙃
  2. @HIGH PIT WILMA - posted a copy of the photo on the Bygone Bedlingto group and one member, Kevin Leonard, commented :- 'It would appear to be the steam winder for the cage - looks the same as the one at Woodhorn. Later replaced with Electric motors.' I did some Googling and there are loads of photos of Steam Winders but I could only find one on the www that was similar but nothing completely matches the one in the Netherton Colliery photo. The image from Leonora, Australia is the one most similar. Can't find, online, a photo of the one at Woodhorn Colliery, just found a message on twitter (that I am not a member of😉 ) confirming what Kevin Leonard said about it being replaced. repaced in 1975 in 1975.

  11. This is just guess work and Google - it's a few years since I used McAphee = free version for a year. Have you ever used the 'uninstall' command? Type uninstall in your 'Start/Search' panel and you should get a list of all the software programs you have installed and when you click on the program you are after you should get an option to Uninstall/Delete. If you have access to the 'Control Panel' and depending on your Windows version you might be able to access the uninstall tool via the Control Panel that could take you to the Programs and Features option that when selected gives you a list of all your installed software and the option to uninstall :- If you still have McAphee dashboard then you could try :- Access the McAfee dashboard. Select “Navigation” from the top-right corner. From the “Next” tab, select “General Settings and Alerts.” To manually turn off pop-ups, select the “Informational Alerts” and “Protection Alerts” option. Uncheck the boxes to stop receiving pop-up alerts. If thay fails then it
