In a report in the ‘Daily Mirror’ on 3 November 1917, headlined ‘Cavalry of the Clouds: honours for heroes who have been bombing foe docks’, Leading Mechanic R W Bager is listed as a recipient of a Distinguished Service Medal. Cows are not eels, and the Ouseburn is not the Sargasso Sea. The price was still £10 10s but there was now  a discounted return fare available for £18 18s. Rothbury Terrace is one of the oldest streets in Heaton, although on the First Ordnance Survey Map, surveyed in 1858, it boasted only a couple of buildings and no name. Christina died in 1879. On two occasions, he ventured only a very short distance over the border to Coldstream and Berwick but on the third occasion he came to Newcastle via Wooler, Alnwick, Warkworth and Morpeth. As the interpretation panel rightly points out, the cutting’s high-quality sandstone blockwork is reminiscent of Victorian railway infrastructure.

As it took drama and literature so long for the ‘other England’ to be taken seriously on a national level in the 20th century, it is little wonder that Common’s writing has been put in this regional box. His professional legacy is a superb collection of photographic plates which show rural Northumberland between the wars. From the 1960s he became a successful writer, broadcaster and public speaker. They returned to Merseyside from where they sailed to the USA, where eventually Flora was reunited with her mother in Florida. But this is the rub; as has been pointed out on a recent BBC Scotland series, many Scots who are today advocating national freedom again, through a second independence referendum forget the major role Scotland played in the transatlantic slave trade. As well as in local collections, there seem to be particularly large numbers of Sewell pieces in museums in Denmark which suggests this was a big market for Sewell’s pottery. Both authors, however, said they were keen readers at an early age: One day, however, I made a discovery. The first Brussels service was advertised as three times weekly and the Paris service daily (except Sunday). And so to the name on the medal, W Donaldson. Many later maps plot both the tail and the ‘cattle run’. A third crucial difference is that, at the start of World War One, Common was not yet 12 years old while Basil Peacock was already 16. They listen to music from many different cultures in primary schools and rightly so. History of The Heaton Woods Trust Its first purchase was a piece of farmland that they came to call “Renold Woods” in 1982 (5.5 acres) where over 4000 trees were planted [3] Approximately 20 local residents at the time paid £500.00 each to acquire this land in order to avoid it … Philip Hensher, editor of ‘The Penguin Book of the British Short Story’ , in which ‘Nineteen’ was republished in 2015, said: ‘What I loved about “Nineteen” was its understanding of how broad and varied working class culture could be, and its warm and humane understanding of two young people. Newcastle United directors, staff and players, local councillors, football men he’d known since East End days, Freemasons, friends and neighbours attended his funeral. From 1819, the firm was known as Sewell and Donkin. During these very successful years, he was very close to the players, who called him ‘Uncle Joe’. So, while Common wrote of the excitement of North Heaton School being commandeered as temporary barracks and of school being reduced to half days, Peacock joined first the Junior Training League and then Durham University OTC before signing up, ‘aged seventeen and a half’ and eventually serving as a commissioned officer with the Northumberland Fusiliers. What Ken remembers most vividly, however, is the ‘dark, dingy room at the back’ that was used as changing facilities for another great Heaton institution, Heaton Harriers. Not only did Catherine’s father die but her mother developed a condition which required constant nursing so Catherine was still on Merseyside when she gave birth to the couple’s third child at the home of her brother and his wife on 15 September 1910. They also sometimes seem to have played at Millers Lane in Walkergate. They have seen the songs as their songs and the history as their history. It contained a statue called the ‘one-armed fiddler’ : the blue tits used to fly through its arm! What is striking about both the secretaries during Rovers’ early years is how young they were. The Collier family circumstances around the time of the move were tragic. How far did Rovers progress? She is buried in Heaton Cemetery. What was the historical source for this citation? ‘The Journal’ was naturally bemused as to why fundraising football matches would be played to raise money for a statue particularly if there had been one all along. The family was still in Heaton in 1901 but, by this time, Joseph was no longer a grocer but a self-employed builder and they lived at 2 Cheltenham Terrace. The park superintendent was a Mr Hall who lived in Heaton Park Lodge (now the park rangers’ offices). Other parts of the would-be development lay fallow until the 1920s when almost 100 houses were erected on the land that had been deemed unsuitable forty years previously. Basil Peacock wrote that from the age of three as ‘some schools administered by local authorities were prepared to take toddlers into the baby class providing they were properly weaned and toilet trained.’, ‘Coming from a “respectable” family, and being rather a timid and retiring child, I found it difficult at first to associate with more robust and turbulent pupils coming from less orderly homes, who spoke in extreme Geordie dialect, so I dwelt on the words of my school teacher, which I could understand, and gained her approbation as a “bright pupil”’. Both boys attended Chillingham Road School. Recently we were shown a photograph that led us to research the early history of one of them. Ken remembers the name because he went to school with Norman Salkeld, one of the proprietor’s grandsons. There were differences between the two boys’ upbringing, however. It’s unfortunate that it was only the ‘statuette’ that was ‘restored to its former glory’. This was probably a mistake by the map makers. However, a spanner was thrown in the works by the Burns Federation, which at its annual conference in September 1926, passed a resolution to say that there should be no more statues and instead affiliated clubs should be encouraged to honour the poet’s memory by donating to local hospitals. In 1891, aged 29, he lived, with his wife, Mary Alice, and three young children, along with a servant and a fourteen year old grocer’s assistant, at 43 Rothbury Terrace above the corner shop he ran. Previously city included Fontana CA. George was born in Newcastle in 1843 into a distinguished family of artists. Common is still seen as not quite important enough. The second, and the first involving a heavier than air plane, occurred near Verona in Italy, in August 1919. (Wear wellies.). His will stipulated that part of what would have been the Heaton Park Estate should become allotments. The 200-metre-long feature is drawn like a road, with parallel lines. Even the duration of a match wasn’t fixed at 90 minutes until 1897, the same time as teams were formally required to comprise 11 players. There has never been a ‘cattle run’ in Heaton. Today painting a bronze statue sounds like an unusual piece of restoration work. G W Greener, in particular, was rarely out of the newspapers, taking every opportunity to promote the football club and also founding a cricket team. We know that there were ‘dwelling houses’ on the site of the factory and a newspaper of 9 June 1834 reported that ‘The lightning struck the house of Mr Sewell at St. Anthonys and broke a quantity of glass’. All went quiet for a decade when, in response to an enquiry from Newcastle United historian, Paul Joannou, ‘The Journal’ ran two articles which showed that collective memory can be very short. Perhaps you can help. Another engine driver’s son, born in St Anthony’s in 1874, Andrew would have been around 20 years old when he took over the captaincy. Change ), Wed 25 March: The Battle of Otterburn (Michael Thomson), Wed 22 April: Cobbled Streets and Penny Sweets (Yvonne Young). And below under the heading ‘Aeroplane Thrills’ was the story of the previous day’s Handley Page Transport flight from Paris. Did they even win it? Bell died while still chairman of Newcastle United on 22 March 1909, aged only 47. The owners are listed as 3, Addison Road, Byker. So the fountain is mentioned in the heading but nowhere in the text and there is no mention of either of the original plaques but we find that a new plaque had been created at some point – it might well be the one in the 1983 photograph – and the date it gives for its removal to a new site is four years earlier that the dates we have seen so far. The farmhouse was at the junction of Ouseburn Road and the Newcastle to Benton turnpike, today’s Coast Road. The bridges have been rebuilt some time after 1880, but let’s continue with the contemporary description. Armstrong, of course, also gave away land to the people of Newcastle, but the gift of his extensive Jesmond Dene ‘garden’ wasn’t perhaps as purely philanthropic as it is usually portrayed — creating an attractive country park from a steeply sided valley that might have proved too deep to fill and flatten was a savvy move for a housing developer. ’Many of them said that the ‘machine’ appeared to be in difficulty immediately after take off, swerved but hit a tree and then an outhouse in the garden of no 6 Basing Hill ‘the eight-roomed residence of Miss E Robinson’. For Lord Armstrong to go to the considerable expense of sinking a bovine passageway, it would, you might think, have to be a feature in regular use and therefore would have been of at least passing interest to the local press. The following year, Handley Page inaugurated its own air mail services to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. At the unveiling of the ‘Burns Memorial Fountain’ on 13 July 1901 the secretary of the club, John McKay, said that for four or five years (ie from around the time of the centenary of Burns’ death) the members had wanted to do something for the people who had supported them and so had saved the profits of the club’s programme of concerts and lectures. When Heaton Rovers was founded in 1887 with him as secretary, the family were living in Heaton. The ‘now common accompaniment of a country gentleman,’ pointed out Surtees in ‘Hawbuck Grange’ (1847) was a ‘draining-pipe.’, After going ‘boldly at the Government loan’ another Surtees character was said to have transformed a ‘sour, rush-grown, poachy, snipe-shooting looking place’ into land ‘sound enough to carry a horse.’, Deanston’s method of introducing smaller-bore, more frequently placed drains was an improvement on former methods, wrote the landed Surtees, who described ‘gulf-like drains as would have carried off a river … but there was no making head against wet land with stone drains, the bit you cured only showing the wetness of the rest.’. Some of the Dene’s naturalistic features, such as its ornamental rockeries, were either designed in whole by Hancock or in association with Armstrong. Heaton is a suburb in the east end of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, about 2 miles (3 km) from the city centre.It is bordered by the neighbouring areas of High Heaton and Cochrane Park to the north, Walker and Walkergate to the east, Byker to the south and Jesmond and Sandyford to the west. Armstrong Junior had a lifelong fascination with water’s potential for motive power. Heaton was, as many readers will know, the home for many years of East End, the team that became Newcastle United. Music is there to be enjoyed from whatever background it comes and if pupils can enjoy music from many parts of the world, then that is great. There’s a linear east-west feature marked on the large-scale map attached to the Deed of Gift of September 1879 in which Armstrong gave this woodland in perpetuity to the people of Newcastle, but it’s not labelled as a ‘cattle run‘. The flight from Hendon to Paris-Le-Bourget took 2 hours and 30 minutes and cost £21 per passenger, the equivalent of more than £1,000 today. Luckily, contemporary newspaper reports have helped us build up a picture of the club’s early years. Interestingly, the club president was listed as C T Maling and  A Ripley was now said to be the captain. So, as you can see, there is much in the story of the Burns’ memorial which gives food for thought and much that has been forgotten or misremembered over the years. A Ripley Andrew Ripley was the captain who succeeded W Donaldson. There were eye witness accounts too: ‘Nursemaids, postmen, milkmen and policemen [were among the first to] rush to the scene’ . So how should we look upon the legacy of Common’s work today? The fire service responded to a telephone call from Miss Robinson, who said she was in her front room when she heard the noise, but by the time they arrived, there was only ‘the skeleton of the plane’ left. It lay forgotten for many a number of decades until it came into Stephen’s possession and he asked Heaton History Group whether we could tell him anything about Heaton Rovers or W Donaldson. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find out any more details. Soon afterwards, now in Bootle on Merseyside, Flora married John Samuel Hart with whom Walter went into business as a tailor and draper. Somewhere along the line, the magnificent fountain, the quote from Burns and the plaque which explained who gave the statue to whom all became separated and, as far as we know, lost and there is nothing on the monument to tell passers by who the replica Walker Park statue depicts. It did not, for the most part, compete in the English market with the Staffordshire firms, which had advantages in terms of transport links by road. Just a few weeks later she, the baby and the older children travelled to Heaton to join Walter but on 20 December, Catherine died of heart failure in the RVI. It had been examined before take-off by two ground engineers and, according to a Major Brockley, who said he had helped start the engine before the flight, it was ‘quite satisfactory’. Even at the top level, referees and penalty kicks were not introduced until 1891. as the match was never played.’ (26 April 1888). Indeed it has been noted that, ’In 1951 Turnstile Press published Common’s best-known book, the autobiographical “Kiddar’s Luck”, in which he vividly describes his childhood on the streets of  Edwardian Tyneside, as seen through the lens of his adult socialism. Joseph Bell is buried in All Saints cemetery. We don’t yet know but feel that the answer is out there somewhere in football archives. ‘Pers. Jubilant new secretary, Frank Purdy, expressed a hope that the team would stay together and announced that the club’s fourth anniversary would be celebrated with a grand dinner. Although there is a single reference to a team called Heaton Rovers playing a match in March 1885, the club appears to have been founded in 1887, the year before the Football League was founded. Likewise, Armstrong Bridge wasn’t commissioned by its namesake to ease the burdens of packhorses climbing Benton Bank — a backstory usually attributed to the kindness of Lady Armstrong — but as a high-level road approach for the prestigious properties Armstrong planned to develop on both sides of the Ouseburn valley. Instead, it took advantage of its position on the Tyne, with links to Europe, particularly Northern Europe. A shield attached to the capital between the fountain and the statue bore the inscription ‘Presented to the District Council by the Burns Cub, Walker on Tyne 1901’. Shoe Tree designs depicted by Colin Hagan. But we do know that a young Abraham Lincoln came to the settlement of New Salem and craving books found  a ready made library in the home of a Scottish neighbour Jack or Jock Kelso who, unsurprisingly given his name, was a Scotsman. I remember there was a clock on the pavilion that had a very tinny chime on the hour. In August 2020 the Woodland Trust shortlisted a sycamore in Armstrong Park, known as the ‘Shoe Tree’, for its English ‘Tree of the Year’. The youth of early football organisers has been noted elsewhere and is perhaps not surprising considering how few of their parents’ or teachers’ generation would have any experience of playing or supporting a team. It would be good to know more about an early figure in Heaton’s football history. Incidentally, there’s a connection between Heaton and Bootle in that Flora was living in Shakespeare Street in a group of terraces named after poets. Basil Peacock died in 1990, aged 92. Robert was a member of No 7A Squadron (which, in 1917, became 14 Squadron) at first working as an aerial gun-layer. The drinking fountain was cast in Glasgow by Walter Macfarlane’s Saracen Foundry, the most important manufacturer of ornamental ironwork in Scotland. Armstrong died in 1900. We saw in a recent article about ‘Kiddar’s Luck’ and its descriptions of Heaton, that Common had a quite contemptuous view of his education at Chillingham Road School. The Jack Common who wrote ‘Kiddar’s Luck’ was undoubtedly a north-east writer. For an example of what could be achieved, one only has to look north of the border to see how Scotland has regained its sense of cultural self-confidence. This ability meant that Common was able to convey the richness of working-class life in Heaton in a way which still resonates with us today.

He set up as a general dealer but took photographs of rural Northumberland for sale in his and other village shops and post offices in the county. Why Heaton? The Walker Park lottery bid [2010] has plans to recast the statue and put it back into the park.’. ACTIVITY - please check before coming in case of a change to the programme.
