Have just joined the bedlington.co.uk, as i am tracing my family, Mam and her family lived in Beatty rd., In fact several of the family lived in Beatty rd., The Moore family. Madge and John and their kids, Mary ann.b.1903, Charles, Dave, Madge,John, Vinny Ridge, Mathew,william and Irene born.1926 lived at 21 beatty rd., till 1930 then they left the villiage to come south to Portsmouth (Grandad was injured during the war and was in the military hospital at Portsmouth so granny and all the kids evenutally came south to be near him.) But other members of the family stayed on in bedlington, including Uncle Adam Moore who lost a leg down the mine,s I think he lived at No4. Beatty rd. Have lots of old photos but sadly don't know all of the names.

Have decided to go north next year and visit Bedlington, so I am trying to do my home work now and get as much information on the area and see If I can find some of the rellies who still live there. Would love to hear your memories of Bedlington and beatty rd.

Just seen your info above about Beatty Road. My grandparents Jeff (Jefferson) and Margaret Graham (nee Lynn) lived in 3 Beatty Road until their deaths about 1969. My grandfather worked in the Dr Pit until he became ill and died of pneumoconiosis from the coal dust. I was born in St James hospital in Newcastle and lived in Beatty Rd with my mother Doris and her sister Audrey for a couple of years until my father returned from Army sevice in India. We then moved to Basingstoke Hants where we lived until I married and moved to Australia. I remember visiting my granparents many times as a child (1950-1960) and played with all the other kids in the street. We used to go potato picking at the property at the end of Beatty Rd for which we earned a big Granny Smith apple. I also remember running out to the street to collect the milk from the mikman with his horse and cart. I also remember shovelling coal into the coal house that had been delivered in bulk and tipped into the street.

Good old memories of my youth.
