Merlin who!

Never heard of him!!

...The castle was offered to the National Trust who refused it on the grounds that it would cost too much to restore and make safe for visitors. It was bought by the present owner (Sir Hugh Wakefield...

Great story Keith.

It was Sir Humphrey I think. Maxine did an audio interview with him on KEVI Radio a number of years ago I`ll see if I can hunt it out.

I find Chillingham a facinating place.

Here`s a ghost story video about Chillingham castle I scripted & was producer on:

Don`t view it before you have your tea & watch out for the cow muck thrown in as extra!

I posted a topic - HARTFORD HALL HISTORY - last year on this mysterious lady but drew a blank with everybody. So if you know anything please let me know.

Heard this from my Dad after he did some R & R at Hartford as an injured miner. No story to go along with it other than that. Sorry!

Hartford Hall had a Grey Lady!

Happy Birthday GGG.

yep. BTW still got the SunInn arttefacts here and looking to do something to mark its 100 years.

A little film ?

members off here to play a role, voice overs, dress up old time.

What you think. We could even have our own Jocker writing the letters and what hes wrote. Got footage for explosions underground to begin with, but what do the members think ?

Lets know we got 4 weeks in Jan and Feb to shoot maybe.

Lets know

John.

Don`t forget there is this also:

Was Fat Mo's another name for the Domino - Lucifers? I mean did it go from the Dom to Fat Mo's then to Lucy's?

If I remember correctly Fat Mo`s was an under 18s disco that was over the road from Lucy`s in what is now the surgery. Didn`t last long though I think.

I`m wishing for...

Working Street Lights!

Wow.

Did an online repair request today at 1205: status requested urgent.

Came home at 1335 to see a Warren Access cherry picker vehicle pull under street light. By the time I had parked up lights were fixed.

Well done NCC Highways.

I`m wishing for...

Working Street Lights!

Look what I found on Newbiggin high street today (Christmas Eve)

A spot of last minute Christmas shopping Canny Lass?

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

Good Health to you ALL.

We are forever grateful for your support.

Best Wishes from myself & everyone at Synergy.

A modest wish indeed.

Merry Christmas Vic.

Does this mean we will be hearing you on the airwaves soon?

Hopefully not too far away Canny Lass.

We`ve got a bit more to raise for transmission kit hire etc. But I would expect sooner rather than later.

Question:

Why are kind funding donations like buses? Cos you wait ages for one, then two turn up!

Many, many thanks to The Sir James Knott Trust for their wonderful £3000 cheque.

Dear All

As always, whenever I get some news, you are the first to hear:

Thanks to a Co-operative Community Fund grant we are now £1000 closer to our next Bedlington fm broadcast.

How about that for a Co-op divi?

Keep an eye out for a full story in the news section.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Who needs to be able to run when you can do this. Should have been in Team GB.

They all had the nick name "Blue Eyes"? Got no idea who the other two are!

He says: it depends what the problem is . If it's the shorts gliding downwards because of the weight of the water then a bit of good old fashioned, British knicker elastic should do the trick. If it's the ramp structure then he'll need a bit more time to think about it.

I didn`t want to mention the shorts!

My old man sends a great big thank you for these pics! When I met him he worked for a company called Navire,who had a base in Blyth, and he visited Blyth quite regularly. The pics reminded him of his early days in the shipyards in Gothenburg and he said he could smell the steel! He is, or was, a design engineer - not so much in ships themselves but in the equipment used for handling passengers and cargo. If you've ever taken your car on a ferry there's a good chance that he designed the ramps and hoistable decks. He was also responsible for the system of stacking containers on ferries

Canny Lass.

Please tell him, glad to be of service.

Back in the early 70s I was part of a team that shot a 16mm film on a large ship being built at Swan Hunter.

I was 17 at the time. The smell I most remember was fear! Mine

Thank god for HSWA 1974!

Can your old man give this guy any tips?

Coming soon on the Bedders site will be a chance to `Listen Again` to Paul`s March 2012 interview on Synergy, where he talks about Bedlington life in the 50s; as portrayed in his book "The Leek Club"

See if you can match your pix against these Foxy

Found them on Google!

Move your cursor to the top of the pic & info will drop down.

No problems with light pollution here chaps:

Coming soon will be an audio replay of a Synergy Drive interview, by my friend & colleague, astronomer Geoff Fox, when he visited the observatory back in March.

Stax at it`s very best:

Like this one................

What a disappointment. It missed out the 1973 FA Cup Final!
