    @Malcolm George Allan welcome to the group. Unfortunately there are very few active members visiting this group. I am not an ex Westridge pupil but I do recognise a couple of the names you have listed but can't recall anyone your list active within this group. These are some of the names of members of this group who went to to Westridge and comment within the group - @HIGH PIT WILMA - @Canny lass -& @Symptoms This is a drirect link to the estridge scool album created under the Gallery/Historic Bedligton section of this group :-

    @Susan J-D - I also had a look thrrough the 1866 to 1920 ordenance Survey maps but coulldn't find a 'Home Farm' in the Netherton - Bedlington or Ashington areas. What's the postcode, cos I can't see a current local Home Farm Estate, that you checked?

    @Susan J-D Home farm has had a mentio before within this group but indepth research. If you use the 'Search' facility (magnifying glass) and input - "Home Farm" (quotation marks a must) you will be returned two old topics where the phrase was used but the only mention of it's whereabouts is one comment saying it was on Netherton Lane. I will have a look on the old maps and see if I can find anything and I will let you know one way or the other🤞. Have you looked at any old maps?

    East Bedlington Parish Council have commissioned a stainless steel memorial to the A pit (1838 to 1971), going in at the entrance to Bower Grange and it's nearly fully installed. Then I assume there will be an official opening of the monument but haven't heard when. One of our grandkids was driving past the entrance to Chatsworth Drive, Bower Grange, Bedington Station, and saw the work going on and took the photo. above and this one :-
