Rennington is the first to be featured, with another story about school closures, which remain controversial to this day.

When it opened in 1871, Rennington school had 117 pupils. The school closed on July 23 and the remaining children were taken by taxi to other schools.

The new Barclays Bank was set up in Longhoughton in February 1980 and the signs went up on the 200-year-old building that had previously been a hay barn, stables, cow shed, hen house and scout hut.

Descendants of the founder of the Ingram Show came from across the country and gathered in the tiny village to hand out prizes and help the community commemorate the centenary.

Organisers tracked down members of Reverend Canon Roland Allgood's family from across Britain. The oldest is 98 and even his great great grandchildren aged just 19 months were on hand to see how the show has grown from its modest roots to welcoming almost 2,000 visitors.

We take the opportunity to look at three interesting pictures of the village and the surrounding valley from the Journal's photographic archive.

Ingram School was enjoying a celebration almost 60 years ago, too, in our first picture. The school is holding its Christmas party in the early 1950s, with headteacher Mrs Proudlock presiding.

The festival has attracted acts from all over the world during its history, as well as being a showcase for Northumbrian culture and attracting thousands of people to the town.

Sir Nick Faldo, who Deeble succeeded as English Amateur champion in 1976, will be teeing off in the same group as Bernhard Langer and Mark O'Meara in the Senior Open Championship on the Old Course at Sunningdale.

Deeble, now 55, but unable to play golf for 21 years, was one of Faldo's amateur peers. Our black and white picture, supplied by Chris Robinson, the father of junior golf in Northumberland, captures them together.

This aerial view of Craster in the sunshine of 1970 shows fishermen's cottages nestling in a rocky cleft, with fishing cobbles above the high water mark.

In sharp contrast to this rocky coast, the rich farmlands stretch away from the sea to the unspoiled Northumbrian moorlands.

Rock Hall School, near Alnwick, began life as a nursery with three children in a converted garden shed.

Around 300 old-style tins will be sold by Alnwick-based auctioneers Railtons. They will include more than 30 by North East sweet and biscuit manufacturers.

There are eight tins from sweet makers Horners, including two with the distinctive Dainty Dinah image.

Chris Maynard, from Ashford in Kent, wants to find where his globe-trotting great grandfather is buried in Northumberland so that his elderly mother can pay her last respects at his grave.

His mother, Mary Teresa Lloyd, has spent her life knowing little about grandfather Charles Francis Lloyd, and wants to track down his final resting place to find closure on her family's history.

Alnwick is dominated by its castle, the seat of the Percy family since 1309 and the setting for the early Harry Potter films in recent years.

There are memorials throughout the town for members of the Percy family killed in Border wars and there is a cross near Broomhouse Hill marking the spot where Malcolm III of Scotland was killed during the first Battle of Alnwick in 1093.
