Thank you foxy, what a beautiful display again, so lucky to have all those volunteers putting in lots of time to keep Bedlington looking so nice.

First pic is Bedlington Front Street, others are the Station where there is a canny show as well this year Vic!

I haven't driven down Front Street for weeks Vic. Only seen two photos from @Malcolm Robinson - for this year. He posted with this comment :- Malcolm Robinson Bedlington West Ward. 26 June at 12:05 The 'Flower Godmothers ' of Bedlington have been out again. Thank you ladies for helping to keep our Town centre so beautiful.

Canny Lass, thank you, that is exactly the sort of thing that is useful. We like guiding ourselves. Thanks for the Ogle information. None of their wealth reached me. One of my 3x Great grandfather's brothers, was called Ogle as a middle name. Thanks again for your time. Martin

You MUST do the Heritage Trail! Print out this PDF and take it with you. They are available from the Council Offices, I think, but that's not always open. Bedlington CA Leaflet p.2.pdf The Ogles were a big family, somewhat aristocratic, who had large amounts of land in and around Bedlington. From the middle ages they had tower houses in both Bedlington and Choppington. Unfortunately they are long gone. Kirkley Hall, another home is still in existence but now an agricultural college. There is a village, Ogle, which bears their name just outside of Morpeth.

The Flat Earth Society are proud to have members all over the Globe.

In an ideal world Russia would be manipulating Donald Trump and Putin would loose an arm :-
