Photos - I have been to Wheatley hill this weekend and been to the Heritage Centre inside the cemetary, i was realy amased at what there was there. The people there were very helpfull and i bought a few post cards of Wheatly Hill coliery and only one they had of the coliery in Wingate although i would have liked more on Wingate, as my Mother was born there, doing the family tree i find it is more interesting to go to the places where ancestors were from. The Thompson's were from Alnwick and my GGrandfather moved to Thornley in about the early 1860s.with 2 of his sons and a daughter he worked in the Pit there. There must have been some relative of mothers in Wheatley hill in the early 1900s as i remember her saying she went there visiting a lot. If you could help me as i am wanting old photos of Wingate 1800s and early 1900s, I have just found this site and it is just what i was looking for.... Collapse
