johndawsonjune1955 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi.Been to see a very interesting person today.Had a chat on Bedlington and the Furnace.She has given me a photo of The Last of the Nailers.She says it is Bedlington and on the back it is dated 1858.This has got me puzzled as of the date but it is in her families photographs and she aint sure who it is of.She is getting on in late life now and have to take that into my thinking.Could this be the Gibson family of Bedlington and a previous family member have written this on the back of the photo ?I don't know, what do you think. ?Post something else later as soon as it is scanned. From the elderly lady too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndawsonjune1955 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 This is from Bedlington Furnace too.Same contact and she has many pics too.Can't say who she is as a couple of years back a certain person went to an elderly lady at Nedderton after finding out something from me and said he was fromour history group. He was out of order and i won't say anything about this one in case he sees it on here.Mind you, i never have seen himon here, but you never know.These photos are all interesting and i think they need discussing.The pic of the first nailers could be the oldest of Bedlington i know of ?And, there are more.Lets know what the members think ?

From the elderly lady too.Looked at the photo with magnifying glass and its 1888. Its in pencil , faded but you can see it is 1888.Was it taken at the Furnace or the side of Vulcan Place ?

Maggie/915 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The people who are the Nailers look to be standing next to the photographers in Vulcan Place.There faces look familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndawsonjune1955 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thats what me and Colin think.We been looking closely at the pic again today.However, with what was written on back of photo could they have been the last nailers at the Furnace ?But still agree with Vilcan Place and the oldest man on the left his face is very familiar, I do think i seen him before on another photo.
