Woodhorn Archives, Northumberland

Gail, Alan and I went to the Woodhorn Colliery Museum, Ashington, where he Northumberland archives are kept. Found some stuff about Grandad. I found in the microfilm of the Hott School admissions book the entry where he first started at the school. He was called Jack Robinson, not John.

Also at the museum was a permanent collection of paintings by the Ashington Group of pitmen painters. Interesting.
