Fullarton's shop

[HIGH PIT WILMA]

Hi Folks,can anybody remember Fullerton's shop at the top-end next to thi Wharton Arms Pub in the 1950's?

Also Adamson's shop just aroond thi bend from the Budge also at the top-end..as you were gaan ti Westridge direction.

A  think it was Tommy[?] Fullarton who owned that shop,he was a canny fella,and Brother to a very gud old [now Deceased R.I.P. Olive Keeley]..friend and nybor of ours at West Terrace Stakeford..[Bob and Olive lived in the East Terrace opposite us..for nearly 30 years..but we were friends from being in wor early Teens..courting years!!

The simple reply is - Na.

I've had a search on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington and Fullerton's gets a mention but nobody says what part of Glebe Road or Burdon Terrace it was on

@HIGH PIT WILMA as I never really passed those shops as I was an lad from The Oval in the 50's and 60's I did some searching and asked a couple of questions on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group. 

Unfortunately can't find a photo of Fullarton's, just photos of what it was before and after. These are some of the comments plus a compilation photo of Now and Then and one image that might have Fullarton's in but it's two far away to make out the name on the shop 

Bit larger comp of the shop :- 

Comments on Fullarton's :-

 

Again can't find an image of Adamson's with the name above the shop but this one from Marian Bullivant, c1960, shows the St Bede's May parade going past the shop :-

 

Ans some comments on Anderson's :-

Cheers @James - I had not remembered that photo so I had a scan through the Evan Martin books I have and I see the photo is in the book 'The People's History Bedlingtonshire Remembered' page 109 but the text with that photo says '............ Edwin Brady must have been successful has he had a shop down the Front Street and this one on Glebe Road........' 

Which of the Evan Martin's books is your photo from?

Thanks @James I have got that one but never really read through it - just flicked through when I first got it and though that should come in handy one day and filed it away from the other Evan Martin books I have - pity I hadn't take much notice of it - I've now moved it in among the other Evan Martin books and I'll have a full read one day. I'll still forget most of the content and will still have to flick through it, and the others, when I get asked for info on old Bedlington
