This is the Google Street View image 2024 but no idea how much the house would have changed since The Odfellows Arms was there -

Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to pat nee McIntyre's topic in History Hollow
@pat nee McIntyre a few years back a member, @Reedy, posted a list of pubs that his dad could remember and among the names was the Oddfellows Arms. he also had an old newspaper cutting . In 2017 a member, @dunlinds, posted info of the pub :- and @Canny lass was doing some research in 2022 on something else but in her research she identfied where the Odfellows pub had been located = Front Street East. This is the old map she marked where the pub would have been :- An old photo naming the Odfellows Arms was found but I can't recall who found it or where it was found. We joined the info from reedy, the old photo, and a Google street view of 2016 to show where it was though to be :- -

@Gary Mills rather than post numerous comments into the Netgherton album(s) in the Gallery section I have created this entry in History Hollow for you. Your question :- Gary Mills 1 Posted 15 hours ago Can you explain Netherton/Nedderton please? Nedderton used to be called Netherton and the Colliery rows were added later. When the colliery stopped producing coal and finaly closed in 1974 all the rows etc were demolished. Netherton changed it's name to Nedderton to avoid confusion with postal deliveries as there was another village called Netherton just outside Rothbury. Netherton Colliery kept the same name as it was part of the colliery rows and shop owners full postal address. This extract from the Kelly's trade directory of 1910 mentions the change Even when you look at current maps of Nedderton you will see that the old hall in Nedderton is still named Netherton Hall.

@pat nee McIntyre The only Robinson shop I can recall was the newsagent on Front Street East in the 1960's but no idea if that shop went back to the c1920s. There was an advert published in a 1947 St Cuthbert's Parish Magazine with Robinson's in :- -

@Gary Mills I assume you have gone through the other 5 Gallery albums on Netherton Colliery/Nedderton :- Netherton/Nedderton old photos People and places at Netherton and Nedderton 1900-1960s Album created by Carole The End of Netherton Colliery Newspaper cuttings about the end of Netherton colliery Album created by Carole Netherton Colliery Railway Engine 1970 Album created by Cympil Scotts of Netherton Album created by sweenytwo Netherton Colliery Band A selection of Netherton Colliery Band, Bedlington Picnic photos &... Album created by Bandsman1966 as well as this one. I would expect finding general info, from pre 1940, from existing members of this site would be difficult unless someone had delved into census records etc. if you created a new topic under the Discussion/History Hollow section you may get more response. Have you used the search facility? if you searched, using quotation marks, for "Netherton Coliery" under the Discussion section of this site you will be returned all the comments through many topics that have used that phrase. probably a lot to wade through but might be worth it.🤞 -

@Malcolm George Allan there are a couple of albums, created by 'Blank' & under the gallery/Historic Bedlington section. Tese are direct links to the albums :- The only photos with harold Wilson on that I have come across are these two that are said to be 1958 by the member of a Facebook group that posted them. Passing the Market Place on the way to Atlee Park :- This one looks like they are just passing the wall of St Cuthbert's church opposite the begingof front Street East :- -

@Malcolm George Allan - whats a 'Community right to build'? I only know I have seen many comments on the online groups about a new swimming pool in Bedlington and I believe it has been discussed many times by the West Bedlington Council but never had the go ahead In the 1950's we walked walked to Humford baths and it was 3d for the whole 8 hours Wilf kept it open Back in 2016-17 we created a couple of Then & Now images :- In the Gallery section of this group under Historic Bedlington there ia an album with images of Humford. This is a direct link to that album :- -
