Here, here Colin.

138 views and no response? Strange.

I think Colin's idea is a good one, but where is this constant new content going to come from?
Over the years we have covered lots of different subjects. MAC Hardy has often said he learns more about our history on here than he did at school.
You are both welcome to take part by helping to keep the board interesting with photos/local history.This is just a hobby not a paid job.

Quite a few of us posted photos from way back a long time ago.

For instance I have posted Scout and Cub ones from about 1920 up to 1928 and then in the 50’s.

I have still other photos that I never posted or sent to Norman.

I have never thought of reposting ones that were on the board 5 to 10 years ago.

Maybe we all should do a rerun for the benefit of newer members.

Recently I during Family History research came across something that could have happened with or to my Campbell great grandparents. Basically how did they meet and marry and then what about my Campbell grandparents , then my parents and finally Ann and I.

To kick off I will do a separate thread on that theme.

In the spirit of getting some more Hebburn-related content on the site I have had a look through some old phots and found a couple of the Tyne that I took back in 1986. Hope you enjoy them!

Old photos

Some of The earliest photos that I have that were taken in Hebburn in 1886/7 that being after the birth of my Grandfather in 1886.

There are 3 other following the birth on their other children in 1888,1899 & 1893. As taken in a studio not a lot to see except the clothes that they wore.

When we look at photos we tend to miss what’s in the background and that can be very informative.

The earliest photos taken that I have are from around 1880 ish of my G. G/F and his brother.

On my mothers side there could be some earlier that that but never checked when the Photographer was in business.

A project for winter? Allan C.
