Foggans Yard

[Rigger]

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.

There's two topics with references to Foggan's yard I can find (excluding yours  )

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.

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.

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

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

In this old post Keith seems to confirm what John posted
