That's a longer version I think? can't remember seeing the war memorial in the first film.

It's a very nice film record of the village anyway.

Just watched it Templesam, excellent! I did as you suggested and typed in Radcliffe, Northumberland.

Fascinating, thankyou for your efforts in getting the film

I can remember Temple clearly from my time at Whittle. Proper gentleman. Did he start at Broomhill/Hauxley? Or did he start up there (Shillbottle/Whittle)

Excellent , seems good quality too . I've downloaded it to watch on the TV screen later .
Thanks

Great stuff!

Temple was a Hauxley man, I believe he was a Duke School boy who went to the pit. When I started in 1958 he was on filling and a union official, he went on to deputy work before Hauxley closed. As I was at Shilbottle and he at Whittle I don't know whether or not he went on to be an overman but he had the headpiece to have gone far.

All this chat about Radcliffe has made me remember , that about 1973/4, a butcher I was training with, as a bairn, used to have his "rounds" on a fri night. His name was Alfred (Alf) Moore, from Warkworth. I remember clearly us going to the clubs at Togston and Radcliffe, in his blue Bedford van, delivering the "meat raffles", and we ended up at the Railway, at Acklington, which is were I had my first ever pint at the age of 15 ha ha ha
