John Fox (foxy)

Aye  Keith

                 I've heard they certainly know how to look after the Old Folk   

, Maybe not foxy.

65 letters of objection, 2 letters of Neutral (not support or objecting) and 4 letters of support.

Can't see how the county can give permission with the public being against the development with a ratio of about 10/1 against it, same with the planning inspectorate with the public and the local town council against the development I can't see how they as well can give permission.

By the way Adam, it was Tesco's Wind Turbine I was referring to.

Maybe, Maybe not foxy.

Ha Ha Ha!

We are talking Coonty Cooncil.

In case anyone hasn't seen, then the page on the Nicholas Nairn Architects page for what they intend to do on the Old School site is interesting, if not an eyesore. The magnificent clock tower of the church will be completely blocked out from the Front Street. What they are proposing doesn't even have chimneys! How can it fit in?! If you go through places like Morpeth and Rothbury, most new developments that are in Conservation areas have chimneys as they fit in amongst the old buildings but that never seems to happen in Bedlington.

And of course we also have the Wind Turbine to look forward to.

Late 60's I'd guess, but it may have been 1970's. Can anyone make it out from this shot?  http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/gallery/image/1643-front-street-1970/

 

It was certainly on the little central island in the mid to late 50's. This one looks early 1960's to me: http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/gallery/image/1573-the-lion/  Should have paid more attention myself! The Gallery will surely give more clues.

so, if you fancy a pint, I'll be in the Lion or at the Travellers.

Well Merc,

the last time you offered me a pint for my Birthday you had buggered off before I got there, so if Canny turns up who's going to pay for her drink?

We used to cook tetties on the bonfire and its funny how they tasted better than the ones I get now from the wife and her Bosch built in Fan Assisted Auto Clean Combi oven with Auto Timer Integral Lamps and "Oh" Howld On Here She's Coming.....

Happy Birthday ex Beddy have a Guddin

Can anyone shed some light on who now owns Jakes Bar at the Station . How come its been allowed to deteriate as much as it has and no one is responsible for it .

Why don't we start a competition to see who can spot the biggest eyesore, here's a starter to get things going.

Well Adams not there, he was at home doing his knitting

Is this the one we talked about Keith Lockey?

You do the minutes Malc.

Photo's will be here the tomorrow Canny Lass...........

Have a Gudin, wish I was 30

That's my uncle Basil at the end of the video some of you may know him, his surname is Brush.

All this info and they still can't get the Weather Forecast right for this afternoon.

Doubt it Malcolm. Polystichum Munitum is a native of North America. My guess would be Dryopteris filix-mas.

Well Canny, we do have a problem here with immigration so it could be from Mars and still gone unnoticed.

Perhaps a "conservation area" within the Conservation Area

Happy Birthday Dajazer,hope you have a guddin.

I've just got back from my third bike ride in as many days and its just occurred to me why the kids will all have their heads buried in ipads, ipods, iphones and xboxes during the forthcoming Blackberry Week Holidays, they'll have nowt else to do.

I've never seen as many O A Ps out picking Blackies in my life, hope some of them make me a pie, the old buggers are out there nicking the lot, there'll be nowt left for the bairns when their hols come around.

This must be the right forum "Consumer"

Its Malcolm Robinsons in case no one had noticed

Have a guddin Mate

Angela,

I believe it was a surface mine..

Spot on Merc,

These pics were taken from my mothers front garden at North Ridge, the opencast was finished and only the tidying up left to do.You'll notice bottom right on pic number three there is one of those vehicles that were used to go down the Furnace Bank mentioned on another thread here. Canny Lass may remember this place, its not too far from her childhood home.

"I am left wondering if some of the old dogs in Bedlington were related."

Maggie, many of the Old Dogs I know in Bedlington are related....

Table twenty fivers Merc? :shiftyninja:

It's only planned to be 1 hour maximum, rather than the near 2 hours last week

I would have thought the meeting should go on until everyone had discussed their issues rather than have a cut off point. Who's planned the Hour maximum?
