Sorry folks, it's going to be out of action for a bit. The power and internet to it is no longer available but I'm trying to sort a replacement.

Found this in the loft; @threegee tells me it is Mr Weeks who has a connection with the mines and was an owner if not the original owner of Lairds House when it was built in 1777. Does anybody have any more info? I thought it might interest others or at least serve as mild amusement if nothing else.

Merry Christmas all. I hope everyone has a great time over the holidays wherever you are.

Well if nothing else at least it’s good to see the Front Street nice and busy today.

Climate change

Sorry to hear that @Bedlingtonian I hope your health is improving. The Brexit debate certainly was lively. Still the same old site just a few less regulars since Facebook started taking over the world.

Thanks everyone, I did indeed. Enjoyed a great Indian's and cake.

I still haven’t been able to catch one of these. Hopefully next year.

I have replied to the email from Yvonne so hopefully she will be able to reply here directly.

The following was sent in via the contact us form from Yvonne... @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

I know a Howarth from Manchester. It would quite amusing if they're related to Oliver here I've sent them the link.

👍

I've added an upcoming events block to the right of that page

Webcam should be sorted now too. Again it might take a few hours to update. As a bonus the changes should give some speed improvements across the site too.
