March 8, 201214 yr I think we need 3gee to help us here, It looks like that works wagon parked outside is being used to clear out Millne House and there is a co op vehicle (3 wheeler Scooter) parked outside. I think the co op took over that building after Mr Millne. C'mon 3gee help us.???? I'm guessing at 1970.
March 9, 201214 yr I would guess that the second pic was taken in the 50's/60's foxy with the VW camper in the picture and the other cars in the picture, would gamble and say 50's but not sure.That looks like a Bedford Dormobile rather than a VW Adam.......... and please folks, Malcolm is just jealous of me getting a ride in those days (in a pram)
March 9, 201214 yr Keith,PRAM.....PRAM.... we used to dream about getting a pram. Mam used to drag us along behind her wrapped up in an old blanket...

March 13, 201214 yr Great Photo Foxy, I recognise the Trotter Memorial, Trinity Church and the Dentists must of change the Dentists a bit over the years, but i would have a guess of the year 1955-56.

March 21, 201214 yr 1960, 1st Saturday in September, 6pm that is the service 47 to Blyth and it is driven by Jimmy Cummins.Your just out there Keith, I can remember the bus was running 5 minutes late that day. Edited March 21, 201214 yr by foxy
March 21, 201214 yr just checked, you're right Foxy 'cos there were cows on the road beside the Taylor homes
March 21, 201214 yr Keith, I honestly wouldn't know what a cup of coffee in Bacci's tasted like. Just read what Symptoms has to say about the place! Definitely not a place for the tender gender of Netherton. No, give me Jimmy Millne's any day. He was a great host as well. He went from table to table talking to everybody. Sometimes he'd greet you in the doorway, escort you to a seat, carry your shopping bag and get your coffee from the counter. Made you feel like royalty.Symptoms, In answer to your query about the cafe at the station, that wasn't Bacci's. It was Moscardini's, or Moskies as it was better known. Can't remember the guy's first name. Pete would probably be able to tell you.Joe Moscadini own the cafe at the station he also owned the billiard hall near the pictures His wife and son (Bernard) ran the cafe
November 22, 201213 yr Joe Moscadini own the cafe at the station he also owned the billiard hall near the pictures His wife and son (Bernard) ran the cafe many a good time i had in moscadinies shop also the billiard hall happy days wish they were back .
December 2, 201213 yr Keith,PRAM.....PRAM.... we used to dream about getting a pram. Mam used to drag us along behind her wrapped up in an old blanket... Blanket?! - You were lucky; Mam used to just drag us along by the hair!
December 2, 201213 yr index.phpChurch on the left, then dentist's. Burdon House is behind the dentist's. It used to be a nursing home, built 1912, and my daughter lives there now. Why did they build it behind, or the dentist's in front? Very odd arrangement.The big building behind the memorial stands where Grenfells now is and the big place behind or attached to it can't be there any more either. Any more info/pics on these gratefully received.
December 2, 201213 yr It was posted by foxy on 13th March - and you commented on it! I just used the link for my query. But you're right - it's a cracking photo. Looking forward to Foxy's exhibition . . .
December 2, 201213 yr So I did............in that case FOXY....................and if anyone else has any old pics of Bedlington and the surrounding area and wouldn't mind letting us use them........all will be explained at the next Forum meeting on 10th Dec at the Salvation Army at 6.30pm.
December 2, 201213 yr Shame the Church Hall is not a museum then we could put all of Foxy's photos in it.
