  1. West Sleekburn Colliery

    These 19 photos are from Eddie Yarrow. Eddie made these comments in the History Hollow section of the group :- 
     
    I've found about 19 photos like this, I think from West Sleekburn Colliery in about the early 1950s?
    They were taken by my dad, Grundy Watson Yarrow,..........; who is pictured in one of the photos
    I would like to put names to as many miners in the photos as possible and then hopefully send them all to Ashington Archives.
    Do you know any of the miners in the photos?   
    Although the photos are free to copy for personal use,
    They are copyright for use for profit making

  7. Bedlingtonshire Community High School

    Entry under History in Wikipedia states :- 'It was founded in 1926 as Bedlington Secondary School for the areas of Bedlingtonshire, Ashington and Newbiggin, being built next to Bedlington railway station. Subsequently it became Bedlington Grammar School, before turning comprehensive in 1974. It gained Maths and Computing College status in 2009.
    I would add - the Secondary Modern School merged with the Grammar School to create the High School. The new build + the old grammar school remained until a new High School was built, on the existing grounds, and opened in 2016.

  10. Headstones, St Cuthbert's Churchyard.

    In this album we are attempting to identify what the symbols mean on the headstones, and add any other connected info about the headstones.
    St Cuthbert's Church in Bedlington can be dated back to the 10th Century and was built on the site of an earlier church. The remains of St. Cuthbert was rested here in 1069, when they were temporarily removed from Durham Cathedral for sanctuary following the Norman Conquest. The church is a Grade 2* Listed Building.

  16. Bedlington Station (Sleekburn) 1st School, started pre 1850.

    Info from Rootsweb online genealogy forum :- 'Sleekburn had a school from at least 1842. This is supported by entries in the Methodist records by a local preacher who stated that he preached in the new Board School in that year. Evidently there are no surviving records to indicate when the School was opened. The School was of course built by the Colliery Owner, more so to keep his workers happy and content.. It appears that the School closed in 1941 and was taken over and used as a County Library.

  17. Bedlington Gateway Features

    In 2017 four gateway features were chosen for their association with Bedlington. All are inextricably linked either by their commercial, religious or social heritage to the town. They have all been placed at strategic points to give anyone coming into the town by car or bus the maximum view point and all carry the adage "Welcome to Bedlington".
