Mr Darn Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 Much of the area on the coast between the Wansbeck and the Blyth once formed a district called Bedlingtonshire which until 1844 formed part of the County Palatinate of Durham, belonging to the Prince Bishops. Bedlington town was the capital of the shire which had been created because of an association with St Cuthbert. The saint's coffin had been brought here for a short period, at the time of the Norman Conquest.For centuries Bedlingtonshire was administerred separately from the rest of Northumberland and had its own justices, sherriffs and coroner. The larger districts of Islandshire and Norhamshire, in North Northumberland, also belonged to the Prince Bishops and collectively, the three areas, were long known as `North Durham'. In 1183 Bedlingtonshire was surveyed in Bishop Pudsey's `Boldon Buke' ; the Domesday Book of County Durham.http://www.thenortheast.fsnet.co.uk/Tynemo....htm#BEDLINGTONany use?

Denzel Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 Taking over the Sun Inn........don't be silly Why don't you and Mrs Student take The Sun over? Imagine how cool it would be; Pot Noodles on the bar every Sunday, a 4AD disco, massive version of Jenga and loads of lasses called Sophie and Emma writing cheques to pay for half a lager.
