Hello. I was part of the firefighting team that responded to the old pub on the site of the Vibe/MOOD bar in Bedlington.

1989 I believe. Has anyone got any articles/photos of the fire. I live in Australia now so I'm just trying to retrace my history.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

No info Mike but this is the John Fox photo that he posted :-

It would be difficult for you to tell if you in this photo as they are all wearing the same outfit.

Thanks, Alan.

That was part of the clean up operation. We were there in the early hours of the previous night, firefighting.

It was great to see the photo. Brought back instant memories. 🙂

Fantastic. I served with Phil and yes, he's 100% correct about the plant pots.
