January 23, 20188 yr Can anyone tell me where Foggans Yard in Bedlington was? Is a photo of Foggans Yard available? The place comes up in some work I am doing and I am not sure where it was. Any help appreciated.
January 23, 20188 yr There's two topics with references to Foggan's yard I can find (excluding yours )
January 23, 20188 yr Isn't Ashianas a bit further down the block, more to the right of the entrance to Foggans Yard. I think the TSB is on the corner where the fish shop was.
January 23, 20188 yr Author Thanks for the infromation and the picture . Did the shop become Joe Alsop barbers??

January 23, 20188 yr Author Used to get my hair cut there. When getting my hair cut as a youngster I heard the expression 'something for the weekend sir'. I had to ask my dad what it meant!, was he embarressed.
January 25, 20188 yr Is that Foggans yard through the archway ? I can remember going to the Council yard workshops /stores in that place many years ago to get a new grate for the fire, for some reason I thought it was called Bells yard
January 25, 20188 yr I think Bells yard was further down, where Moods now has a shop. I have been known to be wrong, Eggy might know better, If not I'll bet he finds out!!

Can't help with a Bell's Yard - there is still Bells Place down Front Street east - the old maps back to 1865 also show it as Bells Place - there is an archway but have no idea if it was ever known locally as Bell's yard
January 27, 20188 yr In this old post Keith seems to confirm what John posted Edited January 27, 20188 yr by moe19
