I have a idea to get rid of the rubble, block off both ends of the subway fill the bit under carriageway with concrete then fill both of the other sides with the rubble and top it off with concrete get rid of two problems at once.

I thought he lived at Blyth in his "Dream House", and before the garage was there it was a quarry.

I agree with this comment, Diane is a very helpful woman and would likely be more than willing to have you in the Grapes. Thats if the Community Centre is not what you are looking for.

What was said when you went to the Community Centre?

Knowing him not very long.

I would love to see a return of Pits in the North East instead of wind farms, but lets face it that will never happen.

I found a statement in todays journal which sums up wind turbines it is from Sir Tim Rice, "These schemes aren't doing any good - just making rich people richer. It's a scam, a con." I fully agree with this statement.

Or the Toxic Waste dump as others call it Malcolm.

Hello Ray, welcome and hope you enjoy the forum.

Its less of an eyesore then elliots garage is/was.

A Member of the planning commitee i talked to say's that Elliot withdrew his application for a care home and now he is going to build house there, but with the state of Elliot and the building trade i say 40/1 he will sell the site. Maybe Malcolm or Foxy could buy it.

Happy Birthday Brian, Enjoy yourself.

Happy Birthday enjoy

What is the matter with Bedlington having a mining museum, In fact the management of woodhorn museum changed it so it is no longer Woodhorn Mining Museum just woodhorn museum, should we not have a museum in bedlington i would say we have more history then Ashington.

They will get permission off the planning Inspectorate, need we be reminded of the last time they got involved which was with the Church Hall, they let that go thru even though the public did not want it.

Great Photo Foxy, I recognise the Trotter Memorial, Trinity Church and the Dentists must of change the Dentists a bit over the years, but i would have a guess of the year 1955-56.

I would guess that the second pic was taken in the 50's/60's foxy with the VW camper in the picture and the other cars in the picture, would gamble and say 50's but not sure.

Hi Cyril, NCC (northumberland county council) no longer support the centre because of the centre was sold to WBTC (west bedlington town council), however the building is owned by WBTC who bought it off NCC last year and it is run by a group of trustees some of who i believe you met, i am also one of them. There are two Councilors who are on this site but they do not know much about what is going on with the centre, the best thing you could do is go to a Town Council meeting and ask the questions to the Chair Arthur Pegg or Vice Chair George Todd, the next town council meeting is on 8th march 2012 at 6.00pm in the Community Centre.

Well Done to everyone involved in getting the station up and running and the people running it, keep up the great work .

Hi Cyril, Welcome to the Forum .
