Malcolm, who is in charge of bus shelters? (Highways Dept' or is it Arriva?) Because we suddenly have loads of seats and hanging basket 'posts' being put up down our way. The bus shelters have no windows in but 'whoever' is supplying us with gardening and seats!!! (Ludicrous)
When I used to drink in the Northumberland Arms there was a guy who used to get in and I could swear his name was Bob Bulmer. He used to sup with a mate of his called Billy Spirit!! He knew the manager and manageress then - Syd and June Johnson. I might have the name wrong.
When I was an apprentice painter at Bedlington Urban District Council, which was changing to Wansbeck Council, the depot was behind the shops on Front Street West. But there was a factory at the bottom of the depot. Can anyone remember it and recall what it was?
Foxy, I posted before that I thought it was the old Gables surgery at Bedlington station - that's what it looks like. Did you see the posting or am I wrong?
One of my cats went missing on 15 April 2013 from the Terrier Close area. He is more kitten than cat and is black with a white mark on his chest. He has a long bushy tail. He is a rescue cat and hasn't got a name yet. If any one has seen him can you please contact me ASAP. Cheers, Keith.
Hi Katie, welcome aboard. Here is a photograph of the Glove factory workers. (Xmas Party) My mother used to work there - she is right at the front in the middle, wearing a red top. This must have been in the seventies.
