Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Yes Miss🙁

@johndawsonjune1955 - have you anymore info John?

@Rigger - as you will have seen from the above comments we went for creating an album that all members could add images into and this is the first time I have done that. It would appear with this type of album you only get to see the first photo that was added into the album and all subsequent images that are posted are listed below the original image. You can't see the additional added images until you select/open the album and scroll down the album - but I'm just learning with this type of album. When you first select Gallery - Historic Bedlington - you get the option to 'Add Images' and if you select Add Images at that point you are given the choice a choice of creating a new album or adding to an existing album = uploading an image from your device/PC etc. You can however pass that stage and select the album you want to add an image to from the list and after selecting the album you get the Add Images option again when you select Add Images you get a screen where you can upload, by selecting the plus sign in the black circle, and then when you have uploaded your images select the option 'Submit all images' at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

ya pulling me leg🙃

@James - I have created an album - Doctor Pit and Rows - and started it off with the basic info from the Durham Mining Museum site + a couple of maps to show it's and what I believe was the first colliery row. I have done as @Andy Millne pointed out and selected the 'Anyone can submit to this album' option when I created it so you should be able to add photos into separate entries or group them into one entry if you wish.

I'll have think about it and I will have to make sure that when I do I remember to create it with the option for all members to add new photos as separate entities. @Andy Millne - I'm sure is possible but can you confirm that when a member creates an album other members, as well as add comments and photos to exiting entries, all other members can be given the option to add additional photos as separate entries?

Welcome to the group Campers. I will try and find some old photos of the area, I believe, Front Sone Row and Back Stone Row were located. This current Google aerial shot shows the area. This list of house, from the late 1940's, posted by @Reedy, is the street names etc that his dad remembers from that era.

@James - do you have a book with that info in or is it online? I was thinking of creating an Album - 'Doctor Pit and Rows' - where any member could add new entry and info.

I was guessing that,☺️ but naturally I couldn't be positive. Wish I could help you more. I don't do genealogy so I am not a member of any of the sites like 'ancestry uk' but I have done some basic searching before, for a mate of mine, on a free site called 'familysearch'.It is run by the Mormom church but you don't have to sign up to do any basic search. I have no idea what happens if you want to dig further. I input your info :- William Locke - Born 1871 and a number of names were returned. This is a direct link to the site :- https://www.familysearch.org/search/family-trees/ This is a direct link to the info that was returned from my search :- https://www.familysearch.org/search/family-trees/results?q.birthLikeDate.from=1871&q.birthLikeDate.to=1872&q.birthLikePlace=Bedlington Northumberland&q.givenName=William &q.surname=Locke This is part (screen dump) of the info returned :-

Mischief🙃 - more a sense of adventure😇

i was never sitting still👌

bee and mother😀

Can't remember stumbling across any plans of Shiney Row. I know on the OS maps Shiney Row first appears on the 1896 map (published 1898) - no rows at all on the earlier OS map published 1866. In the Bedlington Time Line by sixtownships it has the entry :- 1870 Shiney Row was built by the Bedlington Coal Company Link to the Time Line :- @Rigger - pure shot in the dark - have you ever used 'Familysearch'? I don't have access to the 'normal' genealogy sites but I have used Familysearch when helping a mate track some relatives down. I do remember that on each successful search we did the street adress of where the person we were searching was returned. You don't have to join for using this search facility.
