About 1965, and shows where the damaged cables from the machines underground were stored prior to being loaded onto reels to be sent to Ashington Workshops. The job took place first thing every morning and was normally carried out by apprentices in all weathers. When job was finished it was off to the canteen! In the background, the John Shaft, airlock, lamp cabin and winder. -

Probably one of the best photos taken of Doctor Pit. It was taken by Bill Ward Photographer in Bedlington, I believe. Bought this photo, in a frame, from him many years ago. -

Shows the John upcast shaft with Telephone Row in the background. The lamp cabin is shown in front of the air lock and the winding engine room on right side of the photo which was taken about 1965. Eddie Davison was one of the winder men at this time. -

How do I add a photo to the Dr Pit and Rows album?
-
Thanks for the help. Just for your info. I am compiling a history of Shiney Row 1881 - 1939 that's why I have been asking for information about the row. Hopefully will finish sometime this year!
-
I have been informed Shiney Row was built by the Bedlington Coal Company about 1870. Have looked in the 1871 Census but can find no evidence people living there at that time. Does anyone know when they were first occupied? Also, can anyone advice where I can get a plan or drawing of one of the houses in Shiney Row which all had 3 bedrooms and a kitchen except number 49 which had 4 bedrooms and a kitchen. Thanks, Any help appreciated.

Bedlington Juniors about 1964

Also Ancestry, there is subscription, but is quite comprehensive. I also used Familysearch which is free which can sometimes fill in the gaps.

17. Bob Cowans 36. John Dixon I believe
Confirm 26 is NOT Pat BrownThanks again lots of names there from my past.Thanks for your help. Will give give it a try. The names you mention associated with Bedlington CC I can just remember from the the distant past! I remember working with a guy at Dr Pit called Bill Anderson, a Terrier breeder, he was a wicket keeper at Bedlington CC at one time with the nickname 'hands'. I was never sure if it was a compliment!!Cames across this medal which belonged to me father George Johnstone. The medal is inscribed Bedlington CC 1936. I knew my father played for West Seekburn 2nd XI who were League Champions in 1931 and have a photo of that team. I was not aware my father played for Beblington CC. Any 1936 photos out there?
Given this a few years ago by my aunt. The only clue is on the back of photo which says - 3rd guy 2nd row is Topper McGlen (does not say left to right!). Also an address 23, Beech Terrace Topper was born 1898 in Bedlington and was the son of Michael McGlen 1861 -1933 Anyone recognise any of the others? Not sure what the occasion was.
So it looks like Bedlington MIssion. Thanks to everyone for their help on this one. I will now label the original photo with this infromation for future generations!!
