Northumberland / Pitch and Toss
« on: Tuesday 04 February 25 13:18 GMT (UK) »
As a young lad in the late 1950s, I can remember walking on the path beside the River Wansbeck from behind St Johns Church, Ashington to North Seaton Colliery and coming across a group of men playing 'pitch and toss' --- can anyone remember what the 'rules' of this game was? My memory tells me that three penny coins were thrown up in the air and that men would gamble on the outcome when they landed, i.e. 2 heads and 1 tail; 3 heads; etc.
I have searched online but can't find anything definitive.

Can anyone remember the name of the theatre that was in front of the university on the Haymarket side? It stood where the modern glass frontage uni building is now.

Anyone having problems with FindMyPast today?
I am finding it a tad slow and also when searching I am getting strange results. For example, several times when I have being searching the Censuses (mainly 1861;1871 and 1881) when I click 'view' I get an error message saying that the 1921 Census is unavailable due to maintenance!
