I was born in Blyth went to Wright Street Infant Morpeth Road Junior and PLR senior. I left Blyth in 1965 with Jim my husband and two daughters Christine and Karen. We come home at least once a year to visit friends. It would be nice to know if anyone remembers me from my schooldays or from St Mary's Church which both Jim and I attended.

• Hello again, I have just re-tried the link and it didn't work very well so try this instead http://www.travelinenortheast.info/k2p/usp.nsf/pws/Keys+to+the+past+-+Home+Page if you 'copy and paste' it should be ok. Then go to the Local Histories and as before. I live in Newsham if that is any help at all??Paul Rookledge.

• www.travelinenortheast.info try this website and click on Local Histories and then B for Blyth. This gives you a page about the history of Blyth, if you go down the page to where it says Newsham Colliery and click on that. It opens a map of the present day with a drop down list of years underneath. Select 1951-1959 and just below the X is Double and Single Rows. Click on the 'Compare Maps' bottom right and it does a split screen comparison of where it would be now. This would have been part of Newsham Colliery. Hope this helps.

My Great Grandparents Robert Brown & Caroline H Brown (nee Bridge)moved to Choppington about 1891. Their youngest children- Mary born c. 1891~ James born 1893~ Robert born c.1896 and William born c. 1900 were all born in Choppington. William was killed in 1918 in France during WW1. The eldest children were Jane born c.1884 in Ireland~ Sussanah born c. 1886 in Jersey (died 1892) and Caroline born c. 1888 in Monmouth~ Wales. I am interested in making contact with any of their descendents.

• Hello Harry. I only lived there from 1963-1969 but only have very fond memories of the place,fishing,bird nesting n footall, what more could a lad want.Worst thing they ever did was pulling the place down when modernising would have done,never mind those really were the days.Best wishes.
