  1. We have had to go the opposite = no modern machinery = astro turf and gravel. I can't manage any gardening and Mrs Eggy, Jacquie, who had never gardened before we moved into this bungalow, now has to tend to some small borders but unfortunately she refuses to wear her specs when gardening and what she plants one week gets removed whilst weeding a fortnight later☺️
  2. No 9 & 16 named by 'Janice Dixon CW' on the Past Times History Facebook group.
  3. c1967 Photo from Brian Humble and names, all bar No 9 & 19, from Facebook group, Bygone Bedlington members.
  4. @Vic Patterson - you will have to blame me 🙂. As the world was coming out of 'Lock-down' I suggested that Canny Lass had a rest from quizzing, after the last one, and returned to tending to her expansive landscape - rather than staying indoors searching the www, and her memory, to keep us occupied on a Friday night.

  13. @Jammy - names updated. No 4 I have left as B ainbridge as it was John Bainbridge who posted the photo, using the name he uses on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington :- John Bainbridge Added by John Krzyzanowski on 9 March 2015 Works at Northumberland College
  14. @Jammy - from when the photo was first posted by George Railton, with the nickname Hocky for No 13, I have racked my brain/memory to drag back the name of the small lad, with the rough/loud voice from around the Oval area (1960's). I would say it's definitely Kitty Brewster.
  15. Tuesday - one line joke night - Canada's turn - Vic's probably know these :- What do urine samples and Canadian beer have in common? ....................................................................... The taste! What are the 2 seasons in Canada? ........................................................... Winter and July! What do Canadians sing when they get excited .............................................................. Who let the sled dogs out! What is the difference between a Canadian and a canoe? ......................................................................................A canoe tips. How does a Canadian hold up their hair? ...................................................... With moose. How do you know Adam was a Canadian? .............................................................................. Who else could stand beside a naked woman and be tempted by a fruit?

  17. Photo from Carole Robinson (Facebook group Bedlington remembered) - her uncle, Jim Fish, No 9.
  18. @Hursty - is your dad in this photo? I've highlighted part of the text above where your dad gets a mention.
  19. It's strange how small things stick in your mind from 60 years ago.I remember your dad used to have the butchers van and delivered around the estates in the late 50's and early 60's. We lived 5, Coquetdale Place (near the Oval shops) and I hated salt on anything so it always seemed a treat when Ernie Gurney turned up and my mam would get me a bag of plain crisps (probably Smiths) with the little blue bag of salt in. 🙂
  20. Margaret Williamson - Facebook group Bygone Bedlington, clearing out her loft came across her school velour hat from the early 1960's. The girls had a choice of hat or beret.
