Search no further, Alan! Consult my topic on the Gibson family 'The Last of the Nailers'. William Henry Gibson, born 1886, was the son of William James Gibson and his wife Sarah (nee Mostyn). He was a draper’s assistant at the Bedlington branch of Hedley Young in his younger days but aspired to the dizzy heights of ‘draper’ later in life. This is him outside of his shop on Front Street East: It’s easily recognisable from its arched windows as the former Dunns drapers - run by his aunt, Mary Ellen (his father’s sister) and her husband Lewis Dunn – just a few doors away from the Gibson family home. You can just see a glimpse of those windows above the charabanc in the picture you posted above.

With the new national guidelines for housing targets and the fact that Northumberland annual targets have been nearly tripled and that the South East of the county is seen as the area that can support most of them...................... People need to be informed before we see every blade of grass around the town disappearing under concrete! So I've called a public meeting and invited the head of NCC Planning to come and give a presentation.

@Donna Clark forgot to sat sorry for taking over your post with a different subject😇. We often get sidetracked but hopefully your qustions were answered before we went off on a tangent🤞

@Canny lass this is the clearest (for me) info I can get on Google for avif files. Google says the avif format was introduced in 2019 and the software is embedded into web sites to save space by converting jpeg (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and png (Portable Network Graphics) files into avif to save space. So I an guessing that avif file of yours must have been created on the site/group/platform you found the image on. But i could be wrong😇

It says "avif". I don't know how old it is or where I got it from but I see that I've got exactly the same photo with the extension png. It may as well be in Chinese for me!

@Canny lass your avif file downloaded and converted to a file with a jpeg file extension and uploaded. I havn't managed to upload any file, jpeg or png, that this site has converted to a an avif file so at the moment I haven't got an explanation for what happened to yours. What file extension does the image have on your phone or PC/Laptop?
-
I'll have to have a clart when I have a jpeg photo to upload to this group. I tried opening your avif file and it was download to my PC rather then displaying it on the screen. Google says avif files are more efficient than jpeg & png files to transport arround. Could Admin be attermpting to save space
-
New to me too! I have this pic saved on my computer but when I publish it here the pic itself doesn't show up. When I try to open it on this site on my iphone I get a message saying It's not allowed "where you are". As you would usually say in such circumstances, "It is a mystery"!

@Canny lass AVIF files are a new one on me

I think that @Donna Clark has identified that correctly and yes, Donna, it is Johnson's shoe shop. Here's a photo from 1970. 1970 J R Johnson, shoe shop 1.avif
