Hi Ann, I lived in Netherton Lane as a small child in the early 1960s. Although I don't remember that name, I don't think that there are very many older houses along there. (I could be wrong!) It might be worth a walk along there. You never know, the name may still be on the house! Good luck with your search!

Thanks so much for that information, Bill. It takes someone who was there to tell it how it really was. I never knew at the time how hard and dangerous it was for the miners. I'll always be proud of what my dad was. I hope your accounts help Steven find out what he is looking for.

Thanks. I'd forgotten about The Journal!

Hi Stephen. See my newspaper cuttings I've just posted.
-
I've got a couple of newspaper cuttings about my dad's death on 19th December 1972. Not sure which paper. I think we mostly got the Evening Chronicle.

Headstones, St Cuthbert's Churchyard.

Does anyone know the date of the oldest headstone here? I love looking for the really old ones. And is the church open during the week? I'd like to visit when I'm next up there. -

Karen is my niece! -
Thanks! How do you know that? Do you have any more information about them, please?
-
Thanks so much for sharing that map. It makes me want to explore all those places again!

I wonder if this is the same opencast area that I know about. It was behind our house in Netherton Lane (on the map now it says Westlea in that area). In 1963 my brother George drowned in a trench in an old opencast site which hadn't been filled in. It was soon filled in after that. Does anyone remember anything about that, please?

Dr Pit rows - Shiney row and Doctor Terrace.jpg
Anne Gilbert commented on James's gallery image in Historic Bedlington
I love looking at these photos of Shiney Row, as I'm sure my mum Alice Lynn was born there. Her mum was Mary Anne and dad was George who worked down the pit. I'd love to know if anyone remembers anything about them. -
I remember the shop well. Bought far too many sweets there!
-
Me too! I've obviously been away too long!
-
I don't remember that name. My aunt Edna used to live in Tomlea Avenue,so I know it well!
-
Thanks for those memories! Knew all those streets so well that people are mentioning.

I've lost my accent somewhat now but I love to hear it. Makes me proud to be a Geordie!
-
Thanks! Love looking at the old photos of the pub. Just opposite there and towards Stead Lane were a couple of slopes where I used to love going down on my roller skates.

Great to hear from you, Canny lass! My mum was born in Shiney Row, then moved to Netherton (Nedderton?) Lane where I was born. Love the languages connection! I was a Russian interpreter in the Army, then went into teaching. I visit Bedlington every few years - a trip down memory lane. Always reduces me to floods of tears!

I'm number 27! Any of you still around? -

OMG I can't believe it! Miss Ramshaw was one of the most inspirational teachers. She taught Latin. Instilled in me a life long love of languages.
