Not shown in the image I took of Reedy's dads list they were three more pubs listed and they were :- The Odfellows Arms, The Bridge Inn and The Queens Head. I couldn't find any info on them and thought they might have been pubs outside Bedlington Town.

dunlinds, on this site has commented :- 'Re Oddfellows Arms Hotel: My Great great Uncle - Edwin Taylor Dale - took over the hotel in 1867, as per attached snippet from Newcastle Daily Chronicle. This doesn't show the location of the hotel, but I found a photograph from Northumberland archives dated from 1974 which suggests that the 'corner' building was The Oddfellows Arms.'

The newspaper snippet + archive photo + google street view 2016 combined :-

Not one Reedy's dad mentioned but looking through Evan Martin's book - The Shire of Bedlington in old picture postcards - slide 9 shows the Freemason's ('Masons') Arms - Front Street West
