Hello,
I am looking for pictures from work done in Jarrow in the 1920-40's, anything to do with Bede. My great-granddad was part of the carpentry team and he was featured in the pictures. I have seen them in the past but they seem to have been lost. They were published in a book about Jarrow. I am unsure of the title though.
His name was Joseph Esdale Brown, but I am unsure if his mame was listed in the book.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely
Sharon :)

Do you mean the carpentry work done in Jarrow, 1920-40s was to do with Bede, and your great-grandfather was involved, or do you want any information to do with Bede?

thank you all !
I will send off to the places mentioned.
I have loads of info about Bede and the history, but i was my great grand dad that did some of the restoration work there.
Sometimes I want to kick myself - I wish I had started researching while i was still in Yorkshire - not when i moved to Canada!
Have a Merry Holidays!
