What a wonderful site! I sat down to write a couple of e-mails at 8 pm, started to search for a piece of information I needed and somehow ended up here. It's now almost 2 am and I just cant drag myself away from all your wonderful pictures. You really should put them all in a book.I've now wandered down memory lane for almost 6 hours.I've laughed I've cried and I've enjoyed every minute I'm originally from Netherton Colliery but I beleive I also lived at The Hartlands (the housing estate down the bank from the catholic church) when I was pre school age. I went to Westridge Secondary School and left in 1965. From the age of 26 I moved around the country quite a bit in search of work (nursing) and ended up in Sweden at the age of 40. I've been here ever since. It's a few years since I was last in Bedlington and then only for a flying visit (funeral).If anybody thinks they know me please mail me. (My maiden name was Bower). Keep up the good work.
