    Photo from John Davidson, Facebook group Bygone Bedlington. Names from the Bygone Bedlington group members. This comment was posted by Lee Yearham I think the photo was taken because we put it in the time capsule we buried.

    @Coatsy - see above from Ovalteeny. If you are on Facebook then there is a group under Choppington. I am not a member of that group but I have been in touch with the Admin - Brian Jenkinson - and I copied your two comments into the message I sent him. Brian did not say that he had info that you are after just suggested you join the group and he may be able to help.

    @Coatsy - I know there are a couple of members that have delved into the history of the Bedlington Football teams and I believe the most info they found was from the Northumberland Archives = the old newspaper records held at the Woodhorn Colliery Museum. https://www.northumberlandarchives.com/ Phone 01670 624 358 archives@northumberland.gov.uk Woodhorn Museum - Address: QEII Country Park, Ashington NE63 9YF Phone: 01670 624455

    The Top Club was the last time the building was used and there have been many posts on various sites about what has been planned for it. I think the info @Andy Millne posted some plan drawings a couple of years ago was last I saw on it. I haven't searched the NCC web site planning applications lately as you spend ages going through all the documents and then months down the line everything is rejected . This time I will just wait and see what happens. I can't find Andy's post so suspect it has been closed down. Never knew when it was build Bill but Just found a photo from when it was up for sale and there is a date - 1777 - inscribed above the door :-
