Jamie Shafer (jamieos)  > Ogle Northumberland Reunion July 2005 > Ogle and Other Places in Northumberland
This is a visual tribute to Northumberland from which John Ogle emigrated to Delaware in 1664. In 2001 I created a photo album on CD using my photos, purchased postcards, and photos and drawings sent by Ogle cousins in England. Since the Ogle/Ogles Family Association is planning a group visit to Northumberland in the summer of 2005, I was moved to recreate my album for presentation on the internet, including this time more elements: internet photos, antique prints, scanned photos, maps and printed information from books and the internet. All this is done with the hope that the Ogle travellers of 2005 will expand their travels in beautiful Northumberland beyond the obvious destinations i.e.Ogle Castle, Eglingham Hall, Alnwick Castle, etc., and include some of the additional sites pictured in this album. Any image can be saved in any size by right-clicking the image and saving to your computer harddrive.

Jamie Shafer (jamieos) > Belsay today - a potcard view with the sun shining. Belsay today is roofless and empty even of interior divisions. In the early 19th century the Middletons built a new mansion in Classical style, a giant uniblock structure of local stone, which in turn suffered interior fire damage, and thus it too is empty of furnishings and interior divisions in some parts. The gardens are extensive and very beautiful, parts located in the former quarry  of the second house. Definitely worth a visit!
