Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

When the weather is fine get out and play. In the winter months, when yourretired and stuck indoors, is the time to be'clarting' on line and researching thepast.

@stustep - have you seen @Canny lass's info on the nailers?

@Rachel H - I've never been to the Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn Colliery but no doubt it's the place where you could spend houes/days searching for historical records of the area. If you are on Facebook the group Bygone Bedlington admin is John Kyzyznowski and he works at the Woodhorn Archives and might be able to advise you where to look🤞 https://northumberlandarchives.com/

@Rachel H can't remember ever having seen any early 20th centuary photos of Netherton Lane on this group or the Bygone Bedlingto Facebook group. There have been a couple of posts where a huse named Kurri Kurri gets mentioned on Netherton Lane but no photo.

You could be waiting a long time even though the GE 'should'' show there are a few hundred thousand of them around. I will still be singing and dancing in the rain doo be do do, do be doobe dodo, doo be do do, do be doobe dodo, doo be do do, do be doobe dodo

@7RIrF using the info @Cympil obtained from the genealogy site and the old maps I would be speculating that Old Wood Row (and any other wooden rows) was replace by School Row. The oldest map I can find is for 1858 and none of the rows on that map are named. I have added an extract from a 1921 map showing the brick rows that were built where the wooden rows used to be. In Cympils comment on the Barrington topic he notes he got the info from 'here' but that direct link no longer works. this was the direct link :- http://www.fynesg.freeserve.co.uk/Genealogy/The Mining Communities of Victorian Northumberland.htm

@7RIrF - searched this group for "Wood Row" and it gets a mention in a History Hollow topic 'Barrington' started in 2007. This is @Cympil's comment :- And this is a link back to that topic on Barrington that is six pages long :-

@7RIrF The 1896 map doesn't have any names on the rows. The 1920 map has the names but can't see a Wood Row. There is a Blacksmiths Row and a School Row that you have not mentioned from the 1901 census.

@7RIrF don't recall seeing Wood Row on any of the old maps or of anyone mentioning Wood Row in Barrington

No change from me and I will continue to avoid any reports on what what happened in any event. As for watching live debates - I would rather play Words With Friends online

Long shot - @HIGH PIT WILMA & @James recognise anyone in this photo? Don't know where thes eight colliery workers worked after the Choppinton Colliery closed in 1966 but they are said to have worked in the electrical shop at Choppinton Colliery.
