The episode took place during a bitter miners’ strike in 1832 and by 1843 gibbeting had been abolished. Now a 19th century ale glass commemorating the death of Jobling, inscribed 'William Jobling, Gibbeted at Jarrow Slake, Aug 3rd 1832', has been sold by Newcastle auctioneers Anderson & Garland for £520, including fees. Jobling was born in Jarrow in 1794. In 1832 he was accompanied by Ralph Armstrong, when they came across 71-year-old local magistrate Nicholas Fairles, on horseback near Jarrow Slake. The men asked for money and when Fairles refused, he was attacked and 10 days later died from his injuries. Before he died at home, Fairles identified Jobling as being on the scene but said that it was Armstrong who was his main attacker. Armstrong escaped and was never found.

a significant artifact associated with the historic monastery at Bede’s church of St Paul’s The practice stone was identified in Ursula’s Porch at Guildford Cathedral by our Deans Virger following research undertaken for local Jarrow historian Tom Tweddell whose biography of Sir John Jarvis—the Surrey philanthropist who supported Jarrow during the economic hardships of the 1930s—has deepened interest in this historic connection This loan follows discussions led by the newly appointed Dean of Guildford (Previously Archdeacon of Sunderland) “The link between Guildford Cathedral and the people of Jarrow is a significant one and one which is being deepened with the loan of the practice stone having lived in Boldon Colliery for seven years are strong and I am delighted that this partnership with St Paul’s Jarrow means that my connections are not diminished by moving to Surrey The contribution Sir John Jarvis made to the life and people of Jarrow was significant and the continuing link between Guildford Cathedral and Jarrow will only be strengthened by the practice stone loan” “My interest in these issues arose out of my curiosity about the effort Sir John made to support Jarrow It was chance that brought the town to his attention We now look back nearly 90 years to find this jewel of charity and humanity Examples of comparable jewels are few and far between Sir John’s legacy is therefore an important reminder to us all about simple Christian values I hope that people in Guildford and Jarrow see these two stones in their respective churches and ask not just what they are but they’re still on course for a top two finish in the Wearside League Second Division The lads drew 2-2 at a much-improved Jarrow Reserves Manager Grant Cuthbertson said; “It was a hard day at the office against a very much improved Jarrow Reserves Jarrow were very good on the counter attack and very physical which our boys just didn’t cope with It was disappointing to come away with a draw but relieved at the same time “We’ve got a busy February ahead but I’m sure that the lads will bounce back They’ve shown plenty of times this season what they’re capable of.” Jarrow took the lead with a simple ball over the top to leave their striker with a 1 on 1 which he converted and give them the lead at half time  Half time came and a few tweaks made and Darlington started the second half much brighter and some good play and Matthiew Kirokiro made it 1-1 Darlington started to impose themselves on the game but a very resilient back line of Jarrow meant that our lads just couldn’t break them down A very sloppy free kick was given away and unfortunately Jarrow made it 2-1 with five minutes remaining The boys dug deep and a ball from the left was whipped in and slotted away by Ethan Cuthbertson to make it 2-2 and a reminder of how physical the Wearside League can be at times Boldon CA fell to defeat in a cagey South-Tyneside derby with Jarrow on Tuesday night in a game that saw an abundance of feisty challenges and a red card for Boldon manager Dan Crooks The win for Jarrow sees them stretch their league win run to ten as they continue to push towards promotion Ryan Hardie opened the scoring for Jarrow after just 45 seconds and Levi Collins sealed the win two minutes from time in the second half Hardie found himself with an opening and his curling effort gave the visitors an early lead which set the tone for the derby there was little in the way of chances for either team in the remainder of the first half until a fantastic save from Jarrow goalkeeper denied Boldon’s Adam Drysdale from levelling the scoreline just before the break Boldon’s Ollie Walker kept his side in the game for much of the second half with two big saves to deny Jarrow a cushion of two goals Liam Heywood was put in the sin bin with 20 minutes to play for dissent after the referee made a controversial decision regarding a Jarrow throw in causing uproar on the Boldon bench and ultimately resulting in Boldon manager Crooks being sent off Jarrow did not make the most of having the extra man however just three minutes after Heywood’s re-emergence fired a wonderful strike into the top corner ensuring all three points were taken back to Perth Green A flagship renewable energy scheme in South Tyneside has scooped another prestigious national award The UK-first Viking Energy Network at Jarrow (VENJ) won in the Public Sector Project category at the RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) awards last week VENJ harnesses low-grade heat from the River Tyne and exports it to council-owned buildings which marks its first year of operation this month cuts annual carbon emissions by 1,035 tonnes a combined heat and power (CHP) back-up system and a private wire electrical network with storage battery making it the first of its kind in the country The RICS Awards 'showcase the most inspirational initiatives and developments in land "VENJ is genuinely pioneering and we are extremely proud to have led the way with it This award is recognition of the vision and dedication of the teams who delivered it "The network ensures minimal use of fossil fuels and demonstrates our commitment to cleaner The project attracted a £4.6m ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) grant for its innovative approach and was constructed by Colloide Engineering Systems Ltd The scheme consists of an energy centre on the banks of the River Tyne along with an extensive pipe network that distributes the heat across Jarrow is located at the heart of the energy centre Water source heat pumps work by extracting heat from a body of water compressing it to increase the temperature and then converting it into useful energy in the form of hot water in a network of insulated pipes A solar farm provides much of the electricity to power the heat pump ensuring it runs close to carbon neutral in the summer months CHP - which would be used if the solar panels do not generate enough electricity - is a highly-efficient process that harnesses the heat that is a by-product of the electricity generation process the scheme won Best Climate Action or Decarbonisation Initiative at this year's Association of Public Sector Excellence (APSE) Awards.
