threegee Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I would say about 92-93........Barrys Fresh Fish shop didn't last that long.OK so I'm wrong and it's not 1985, it's my later date. Didn't spot the 'H' reggie outside Elliotts - which is Aug 1990 - July 1991. That has to be a brand new car because petrol averaged £2.28 gall in 1991 and only averaged £2.13 in 1990, and was moving up rapidly then. The per gall price that's mostly obscured is £1.99 (from the price per litre conversion). Then there's the Christmas lights. So it's late in 1990 - approaching Christmas.

threegee Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Does 3ggg know where this happened? Not when.I seem to remember something about a WWI bomb crater up North Ridge way.The date is difficult, but I'd cast a wild guess at 14th April 1915!

Malcolm Robinson Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was once told about the bomber that crashed into the brickworks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threegee Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Make that a bit further out of town - Westridge. I searched on that tome of all information Bedlington.co.uk! There is indicated the night of the 14/15th April, which is more precise than the photo!On the WWII brickworks raid: This was likely the time my Aunt - a nurse - was on the train passing along the line there. A guy in military in uniform - I forget which service - jumped out of his seat opposite, grabbed her, threw her to the floor of the carriage, and got on top of her. She thought she was being attacked by him until it became evident that the train was being targeted.Just updated the comment on the original Elliott's photo anyway!
