  1. Sounds interesting I have a book on Plessey and more, must do some work (research)! My mother worked at Hartford Hall and a cousin worked in the Gym (repair) It is a wonderful house in a fantastic position. Also the tales of Ken Russell and the filming of Women in Love. Ken Russell did a follow up on his filming. The Main Street had Maureen Shelly's butchers shop looking distressed and boarded up!
  2. Lots of opinions but how about reading The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist by Robert Tressell Maybe we all live in a kind of Mugsville
  3. An old relative now deceased, said the gates at Hartford were shiny when she first used to see them! Never been able to confirm. Pity they are no longer there or anywhere in the town.
  4. I hope the sink and you survived intact. I cannot blame the sink for my broken arm. A Scooter and a pavement, with a touch of more haste less speed.
  5. There are towns where people are encouraged to be the disc jockey and play seven seven inch records. Old records are still relevant,skateboarding has many videos or DVD that are set to an older play list, music spans the generations in any format. Web piracy is just a detail.ENJOY
  6. I remember dance classes at Bedlington Station. Mother chatting while one or two of us were sciving.there was a dance display about 1959. Got the outfits but broke my arm. Phew
  7. Yep! There were quite a few children. Mum and car full. Happy days.
  8. David Cowans Bedlington history society has a family connection. His family took over the pub and cleared the blood up!
  9. One of the Marleys from the Humford Mill Baths worked at Cleeswell Hill school a few years ago. The Marleys who were teachers at Westridge lived at Nedderton
