Bert Chapman
 | Malcolm Moore has kindly sent this photograph of his grandfather Bert Chapman. He is pictured here with his horse Min and his grocery boy.
Malcom tells me he was a greengrocer, (as well as a miner and many other things!) in Ings Lane in about the mid 1930s. The photo was taken by the old water pumping house at the junction of Ings Lane and Cross Grange Street.

Water Supply
Newspaper Clipping taken from the scrapbooks of Mr Arthur Harker - Unknown Edition (about 1955)
Workmen, who have been busy at Ings Lane, Brotton, laying a water main for a piped supply to the houses - which will do away with the stand pipe - have been within a yard of the old supply, a deep well.
The well was situated in the back street, and was about 80 feet deep. The water was drawn to the surface by means of turning a handle, setting into effect, machinery which drew up the water by suction.
Mr. Harry Addison, aged 77, of 19 Ings Lane, has lived in the same house for 60 years, and as a young man went down the well by means of ropes and ladders to effect repairs to the apparatus.
The well was bricked out at the top, the rest being sandstone, and is now securely covered by steel plates, flags and bricks.

Museum To Get Real Live Smithy
 | Most of the fittings and part of the building itself from an old blacksmith‘s shop at Brotton have been bought for Preston Park Museum.
Mr. Adrian Zealand at the museum said: “We are taking on of the hearths, a pair of bellows, a hand operated machine for making screw, and a reasonable range of tools.”
Work will start in the spring to move the implements to the museum and at the same time the chimney and brickwork will also be removed.
The shop belongs to one of the country’s oldest blacksmiths, Mr. Harry Addison, of 19 Ings Lane, Brotton, who will be 91 next month, and whose house is only a few yards from the shop.
Last night at his home, Mr. Addison recalled that he had served his apprenticeship in another shop on the main street at Brotton, and went into his present blacksmith’s shop when he was 19. Four years alter he took over the business.
MULESKIN
“Those were the days when we worked from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the blacksmith’s shop was one of the centres of village life. We worked hard but we were happy and most of our work was with horses and farm implements,” Mr. Addison said.
He is still very active and is making two special presentations to the museum, a miniature farm implement which he made as a youth, and his muleskin shoestring apron.
“I am very please to think that the gear is to be preserved.” He added.
Together with his 85 year old wife, Ethel, Mr. Addison is now looking to seeing the shop reconstructed at the museum.
Dated about 1969, taken from the Scrapbooks of the Late Arthur Harker.
