    Just like buses, two turn up at once. Found this one, also Bygone Bedlington group, from Mary Mclean, who found it among her dads collection but doesn't have any info. Another member of the group, Sheila Parr , posted :- Netherton 1937 38 football team the best ever winning 3 trophies in that season sorry no names 😊

    Netherton FC c1938 - photo from Mel Morpeth, Facebook Bygone Bedlington group. Two players identified by George Railton who commented :- George Railton The guy first left of the cup holder was my Uncle ,John Railton ,he went on to play for Glentoran in the Irish premier league and was then offered a contract by West Ham but turned it down. George Railton The guy far bottom right in the overcoat with the upturned collar was my Dad Isaac Railton. He also played for Netherton and Bedlington United and always that he was a better footballer than my Uncle John!!

    Can't see any photos that havn't been posted on the Bedlington groups before but it's good to see them all in one display. There is one mistake - the photo of J. EASTON Bedlington bus, 2 mins 31secs into the video, is not in Bedlington, it's Rothbury. You can see the Rothbury war memorial on the left of the photo.

    Rolley - Coal truck. Rolley way - Haulage road. Rolley-Way Man - A man whose business it was to attend to the rolley-way and keep it in order. It was also his duty to see that no time was lost in getting the full waggons to the shaft and the empty ones in-bye again. The above copied from another site that lists 'Pit Terminology' = http://www.healeyhero.co.uk/rescue/glossary/glossary.htm And Alan Dickson replied with :- The team that laid and kept the tracks in order down the pit Alan. And the head rolley-way-man, placed all the men at the various non peace work jobs. And Geoff Glass replied with :- Aye he worked behind the coal cutting machine.

    Your right Vic - Alan Dickson was replying to the Scuffler question - I just copied and pasted the lot. I will ask him what he thinks a 'rolley way man' was
  21. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    @Vic Patterson - I copied @Canny lass's question + the info you found on the DMM site to Alan Dickson of the Facebook group Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!! and he replied :- Alan , that's a thoosand miles wrong, A scuffler followed the old fashioned cutting machine up the coal face and filled away the carvings, that very small cut coal from under the cut to improve the shots that broke the coal up. My very first peace work job at Bed A pit. Naturally I haven't got a clue - just copied and pasted the questions and reply.
