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

@Donna Clark I think your right. When I saw the buillding sticking out my mind went straight to a shop on Front Street West that was next to Willy Wards the photographers as it it extended out. I did look at Google street view and the walls of Mood that are painted white seemed level with the next building so I quickly moved on ☺️ and I would have no idea, being a bloke, about any shoe shops at the Top End . I think theonly time I would have walked past the Howard Arms would have been on the Miners Picnic day. We would have a pint in every pub, starting at the Red Lion working our way down to the Dun Cow. I have now checked back through the photos I have of the Market Place area and there are a couple with what looks like adverts for shoes on that wall. This first one a lot clearer than the next and the Howard Arms stone work does look like the stonework in your photo : - this one not as clear but looks like advertising boots : -

Hi Alan, yes thats exactly where I thought it was too. I have seen this photo before and that staircase just looked familiar. As for the second photo, I've screenshot where I think it is from Google Maps. I might be wrong but I'm sure when I was growing up there was a shoe shop here. If memory serves me well, I think it was called Johnsons? I remember the sign on the side of the building although it did change a couple times. And I think the brick work on the building closesest to them looks like the Market Tavern (Moods now).

@Donna Clark I would say the photo of James Todd with the bucket is next to the archway of the Old Hall building and the archway and steps can been in this photo showing the back of the Old Hall - The other photo with Kitty Todd & john Ellis I can't find a photo in my collection with similar stone work on the building they are next to. I assume from the visible letters painted on the wall behind them is for a shoe shop but not sure of the name of the shop from the bit - The '@@@ENE?@@' above . @Canny lass does the stonework of the building ring any bell with you?
-
@Donna Clark - my memory doesn't recognise anything in your photos but I will have a look throuh#gh all the images og Bedlington I have and see if I can find a match that might give us some info 🤞

Hi, it's been a while since I have been here, so I wanted to share with everyone a couple of photos I was sent whilst I've been doing my Ancestry research. The first photo of the man holding the buckets is James Todd, born in Cambois in 1878. He married a Bedlington lady called Georgina Brown. They lived in various places through Bedlington, including Old Hall and Dr Terrace. I believe this picture of him may have been taken at Old Hall, judging from old photos that I have seen of Old Hall. The second photo is of Kitty Todd (Katherine), she was James' daugther and married a man called John Ellis (also in the photo). As soon as I seen it I thought I recognise that sign in the background, and the corner of the Market Tavern. I dont have alot of info on them yet, but I was told Kitty and John lived their whole lives in Bedlington. John was a coal miner. Kitty, although she had bowel cancer for a number of years managed to live until she was 87. She is the sister of my great grandma Ellen Johnston (nee Todd).

Malcolm Robinson Bedlington West Ward. · · I put the Housing and Economic land availabity assessment (HELAA) Map up for Bedlington and there have been lots of people viewing and commenting on it. At the last Community Partnership meeting questions were asked about the possible housing increases we might see but no one was really able to answer those questions. With 1000,s of possible new houses there are questions to be asked! So I’ve asked the NCC Head of Planning to come and explain to us what it all means, how it might affect us and what we need to do to have some input. It’s a public meeting at Bedlington Community Centre, on Front Street, and again it’s a 5pm start on the 11Th November. So if you want to hear what changes to our planning system the Government have and are introducing, what they might mean for us here in Bedlington and if you have any questions about this, the best person to answer them will be there! Hope as many people as possible can make it.
