Is that John Fox otherwiswe known as Foxy used to live next to Norman/Janet Common Meadowdale estate, have not been called Talc for about 40 years now, get called Malcolm now down south. Yours in the Spirit of Co-operation Malcolm.

further to all the above .. this site has been a great help when speaking to my mother, but she does get frustrated when she cant recall things but quite a few names and places have triggered memories, for which I thank you all. ref the police house at Guide Post, I remember that they had a Francis Barnett issued (very Heartbeat!) but the radio was useless as it drained the battery in minutes! Many years ago I bought a Royal Enfield 250 which was an ex police bike and had been lying in the workshops for many years- the workshops at Morpeth still had the full service records of it and it had been allocated to both Morpeth and Bedlington, although I can't recall ever seeing it.
