  1. Would I do that to you! No, I'm not pulling your leg.Tthe question referred to a "billiard table". I think your answer referred to Carom billiards (very popular here btw) or Four Ball billiards. Billiards combines some features of both Carom and pool and is played on a table with the same dimensions as a Snooker table:3569mm x 1778mm, height (floor to top of cushion) 851mm to 876 mm in accordance with the rules standardized by the World professional Billiards and Snooker Association. The shorter version is used in Japan. ... and, I'm sure i don't need to remind you: "the judge is always right"

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
