Names added to photo My mam (born 1920) had 5 brothers and 4 of them were miners and I think (but could be wrong) they all started off at the Doctor Pit. Martin Henderson - born 1921 - Deputy at Dr Pit and later in his life was the Market Place Club Chairman . John Luke Henderson - born 1925 - always knew him as Luke. Bob Henderson - born 1934 - was at Choppington Pit when he retired. George Henderson - born 1937 - last worked at Bates until it closed. -

I posted the photo on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group and Ovalteeny has posted this comment and info :- Barrington United FC were a fairly successful local club after WW2 and were in the Northern Combination League for 2 seasons 1947/48 and 1948/49. They then played in the Northern Alliance for the next three seasons. From information extracted from The Morpeth Herald & Blyth News I compiled a list of the players, throughout those years, see image below. This list might just help people put a names to faces in the above photo. -
