Thank you David for the information and link. I just love the photo and the restores are just brilliant.  I am sure I will  enjoy the photos you have posted on the site and will be looking out for any miners from Craghead.

A lovely photo, just wondering where these "happy miners" are from.

Thank you.

Durham / Re: Help needed about the Mason Arms at Westerton

Hello

I have a copy of Bob Hall's book "Public Houses of Spennymoor & Neighbourhood  The Mason's Arms features on page 42.  I could scan the page for you if that is any help.  It gives details of known licensees and there are two photographs.

Thank you Jim, at least I now have an idea of when this chap was living and thank you Sylvia, the revamp is first class, as always!  The photo you found confirms Jim’s suggestion of early 1900’s.  Thanks also Seoras for posting the link to the Durham board, I agree the odds of tracking him down are very slim but I could not leave him in the Charity Shop, he was crying out for a good home.  I am very grateful to you all.   :D

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Mystery man found in Charity Shop Bishop Auckland for Dating
« on: Tuesday 09 August 11 21:04 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help with the date of this photo?

I found this chap in a charity shop in Newgate Street, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham and would dearly love to find out as much as I can about him. The photo size is 17” x 13.5”, mounted on rather thick card and framed within thin dark wood.  There is nothing at all written on the card, so no clue as to the photographer, although it is very professional and still in the original frame, which is backed with brown paper. It looks like the photo has been touched up or shaded somehow, leaving a sheen in places.  Any help would be most appreciated. Maybe this post could be linked to the Durham Board.  Thank you.

Just to let you know Stan I have now heard back from the record office and the burial did take place at St Michael's Heighington; I am so grateful once again for all your help. Your work on this forum is wonderful.

Kindest regards
