  1. Look what I have found in my old Mrs Beeton's
  2. I suppose there could be a community bonfire somewhere in Bedlington. Why let Morpeth Rugby club have the monopoly! Not the same as your own fire. I wonder if the coal fires of our past make us all nostalgic.
  3. Funny old World! The toon go and beat CHELSEA by two goals.

    Dare I say three words. Emily Wilding Davison. Phew I think I got away with it! Basically ' How do you tell a Geordie, yi divent cos he caant be telt'
  6. The cemetery bonfire was always rather impressive. Even after the wood had been stolen. Guess maybe a certain author may have been bringing wood back from other woodpiles.
  7. Happy Birthday to you.
  8. Thank you kindly, Sir. Ah The Cellar Club, Happy Days.
  9. I would love to hear the interview again. Many of us in Bedlington also spent time in Ashington. The Portland, Harmonic Hall, Lampglass etc
  10. There are some interesting letters written by the murderer. They appear to show he was not of 'sound mind'! Post traumatic Stress from being a hero, plus a 'bent' commercial traveller who had lent him money. Lots of reasons why Amos became so desperate. Pity no one could help him before it was to late. Do we learn anything from History?
  11. Worth checking out for a meal. Charlton's revisited and the food was excellent.
  12. Sorry Ivan, I have asked but have drawn a blank. I do know my father used to talk about your relatives. Quite often people only used the surname, and it was a name I heard often. Unfortunately I did not pay enough attention. Now I guess with children and grandchildren I am the person who is not listened to!
  13. Well done to the Sixtownships Community History Group who have a DVD out for £5.49 available from Al's Superstore in Ashington or on line from the group. John Dawson has said that it is the first time ever that a compilation has been put together to include our area. Well done John a must buy for my Xmas.
  14. Well done the News Post reports you got 10,000 hits on www. Bedlington co. uk.
  15. Check out The Happy Cats at Charlton's Cambois. They were at the Centurion Bar at the Central Station on Thursday 24th. Free concert with an enthusiastic crowd.
  16. Tomorrow night the Bedlington History Society is giving a talk about the Murders at the Sun Inn in 1913. The meeting takes place in the Coffin Chapel at 7.30.
  17. The landform has won two awards from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations annual North East Pride Awards. This was from an article in the News post Leader 24th October 2013
  18. It seems Peter Arnold from Hexham has won a national prize for a poem in Northumbrian Dialect. Wad Yuh Beleev It? Aye... The occasion was National Dialect day. The Devon audience had to cope with lowp, dunch and bogle. Next year the event is held in Cumbria
  19. Just visited Charlton's at Cambois. Brilliant! Someone said it was owned by a relation if Jack Charlton. Either way great place for a walk and then a pint. Oops sorry a coffee..
  20. Shame about the result. Sadly I always feel sorry for the losers. The Vicar at Mitford Jack Richardson always used to pray for the Toon. He did follow up with 'just as long as the Toon were ahead of Sunderland in the league'
  21. Welcome to the site. I seem to remember the name Hemsley in relation to a fruit and veg outlet maybe horse and cart, My neighbour is 93 I will attempt to investigate. Sadly both my parents would have known more, we should talk more 'In the living Years'
  22. They have been recording at the Sage for Radio3. We were lucky to watch the recording of Words and Music Who's in Control . Start the week tomorrow on Radio4, has a Geordie content. Worth a listen or download as podcasts.
