I’ve just stumbled across this site……I knew and often visited The Bedlington Glove Company. In the 1970s I worked as an assistant selector at M&S and Bedlington was the company making all our ladies suede fur lined mittens which were a very good seller for years. I used to visit the factory and dealt with a charming gentlemen named Mr Sharman. I’d never visited the north-east before and he always took me to Gosforth Park Hotel for lunch I recall it was a very grand dining room overlooking the gardens/park and I always saw the peacocks from the restaurant windows.
