I have sent you a private message re your subject, and what to search for.  There is a possibility that the person who started that post may also be a distant relative.

There is a photo and information about Dene House here https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye/12662647954

You can see the position exactly on the left-hand of these 'side by side' maps http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/sidebyside.cfm#zoom=16&lat=55.1326&lon=-1.5676&layers=171&right=MapBoxStr Put your cursor over it and you can see the exact position also shown on the present-day map on the right.

This report, by Peter Ryder, states that Dene House was demolished in the 1950's http://www.bedlingtonironworks.org/archaeology/Ryder_Report.pdf

There are some photos posted here, http://www.bedlington.co.uk/forums/topic/4485-bebside-furnace-1940-1952/ which also seem to show Dene House

Newcastle Journal 18 Oct 1918
" ...; Mr David Robinson, Dene House, Bedlington ..."

Newcastle Journal 14 Feb 1914
"Deaths - At Dene House, Bedlington, Joseph Wood, age 75, husband of Fanny Elizabeth ..."

Morpeth Herald 11 June 1920
" ... Mr J Millar of Dene House, Bedlington ..."

On the 1911 Census I can see a J(oseph) Wood, D Robinson and J Miller + 3 other families occupying the same address as 6 separate households. The address is not given as "Dene House". Cannot post details of the multi occupancy address (policy).

I googled "Bedlington Iron Works Bank Top old photos" which returned the picture already posted + another which appears to show Dene House in the background.

Hi Kathryn.  Lancelot Wood was my grandfather.

Happy to help with information if I can.

Please private message me.  Hopefully that will work as I've now posted three messages.

Welcome to Rootschat 
Unfortunately Kathryn hasn't logged on since 17th May (the day after hanes teulu and I posted with what we hoped would be useful information).
She should get notification of your replies.

Hi, I think I may be related to Kathryn as I am the great granddaughter of J.W.WOOD who was the Durham "Wood & Watson pop factory" and as I started to search our family history I came across these posts. Only just started searching and new to this site but would really appreciate any help/info and would also like to contact any relatives.

I finally figured out how to attach files (the attachment option was 'below my screen' so I didn't see it until I started poking around).

These photos are from my trip to Durham in 1983 at which time I met Harry Wood who was running the W&W factory. He gave us a tour and we had a lovely visit. I have more information with others who are interested...
