Not this man will have some pics of the area.

I think he is still alive.

Bill Ward woprked at the Doctor Pit.

But look at the old shops and the old 1/2 pence

Also look at Bills shop he is advertising Kodak Film too

Willy Ward still has loads of old photos at his home as my mum and dad went to ask him if they could have some and he told us how much they would cost and we gave him the money got some good photos.

Here is a rare pic

Its the Bedlington Brewery staff from 1899

Is anyones family on here ?

From 1925 this Easton Bus is about to go to Blyth Carnival.

Cracking old pic, but do we know anyone.

It would be nice if we could put some names to faces.

Did anyone see Meet the Izzards. Basically examining our Genes through DNA.

Wonder what tests in our area would find.

Romans Vikings and more.
