Sad thinking about the #Kodak news. The company brought #photography to the masses, built #RochesterNY, and changed my mom’s life: she was the model chosen for all Kodak #film processing worldwide. #Photos were compared to hers to be developed properly. #Rochester #ROC

One of the Stanhope & Tyne’s most important landmarks are the Bantling Castle limekilns. Somehow they’re not listed, and given their importance it is bewildering they haven’t been given protection.

This stone structure is almost 200 years old, and dates from the actual inception of the Stanhope & Tyne Railroad in the 1830s. This area was surrounded by pits and drifts, and they all fed these kilns coal to burn the limestone to produce quicklime as an additional site to the kilns at Crawleyside. Quicklime could then be used most notably as mortar and for metal working - an integral asset to the company to line brick shafts and build huge industrial complexes. It was (and still is) important in agriculture as a fertiliser too.

The Stanhope & Tyne went out of business after only a few years, which is partly why these kilns are in great condition. Use was uninterrupted for no more than 6 or 7 years, and even then the kilns were rotated. After disuse they were bought up by the Derwent Iron Company in 1842, with the product moved to Consett either by cart or loaded into wagons nearby.

They appear to have gone out of use by the 1850s, labelled as old on the Ordnance Survey maps of the same decade. Despite this, they remained stubbornly despite years of industrial processes growing and dismantling around it, most notably East Castle Colliery a few metres north.

Great care has been taking in recent decades to look after it, but its future is difficult to predict given there is no legal protection. This is especially the case given vandalism and small fires started in the tops.

Rob Langham is going great efforts to have them listed, so do like his page on Facebook to follow updates: https://t.co/Q6TwXgS3zg

[Aston Villa @AVFCOfficial]

Aston Villa Football Club is saddened to learn that world-renowned rockstar and Villan, Ozzy Osbourne has passed away.

Growing up in Aston, not far from Villa Park, Ozzy always held a special connection to the club and the community he came from.

The thoughts of everyone at Aston Villa are with his wife Sharon, his family, friends, and countless fans at this extremely difficult time.

Rest in peace, Ozzy.

Taking into account the online viewing figures and the profit from yesterday’s Black Sabbath show, it is estimated that the gig could raise upto 140 Million for Birmingham Children’s hospital and Acorns and Parkinson’s charities.
That sort of money is life changing and leaves a legacy so large for Ozzy!
Time for a statue?

The Crown Posada - one of the most revered institutions on Tyneside and the recommendation for any newcomer. It’s one of the best preserved pubs of its period, retaining its gorgeous glass screens & mahogany surrounds.

I’ll tell you first though this has been a pain in the arse to research - both the original pub name and street don’t favour anyone who wants to look into it. This place was originally called The Crown, and was only renamed after the supposed tale of a Spanish sea captain buying up the place for his mistress, though it was probably renamed to jazz it up to make it attractive for foreign seamen at the port. However, a newspaper from 1929 does state that a “travelled landlord” added the Posada as it was known to be accommodation for travellers from the continent.

We can see the building next to the Crown Posada on the 4th shot which is the only one to still exist today. At this time it appears to be a butchers, with Fenwick Hunnam selling prized “Newmarket Sausages” from Suffolk who supplied to the Prince of Wales - clearly an upmarket establishment then. The building on its left is the Crown Posada structure before rebuild. I’m really struggling with the name - I think it says Alex Dinning but I can’t find any reference to it sadly. It was certainly a provisions merchant in the 1850s but unsure any later.

Now interestingly the Crown Posada is referenced as early as 1888, in an advertisement for barmaids. There is no other reference in this decade. However there is for the “Crown Chambers” on Side, which I suspect is the whole building complex. It was home to Messrs Snowball & Co - “fire loss assessors and mechanical valuers” which I suspect is code for some insurance firm. If it were the same building, it gives credence for the building to be so beautiful and ornate.

One thing we do know however is that it was designed by WL Newcombe, a well known architect who also designed the Peacock Hall part of the RVI (the bit facing the bottom Richardson Road) as well as Shortridge Hall near Morpeth. He built this place for Deuchars - so there is a brewers link?

We were rubbish, we deserved to lose, it was a red card and penalty to #MUFC, can’t argue with any of that.

But Thomas Bramall blowing his whistle completely unnecessarily and against protocol has cost #AVFC going 1-0 up in a game where a draw would have got us Champions League football.

It’s a ludicrous error, it’s a £100 million decision.

The stakes are too high for those kind of mistakes.

A whole season boiled down to that moment.
