Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Does anyone know anything abut the Fountain Inn or Fountain9s) Yard? On the Bedlington remembered Facbook group a Mikki Lee Townley commented :- 'Does anyone please have any info on fountain yard off glebe road in bedlington, (I'm not local- I'm doing family research) my grandads sister Isabel Thompson was born there in 1904. Many thanks.' I had heard of the Fountain Inn but not of Fountains Yard. The info in one of Evan Martin's books said that Fountain Inn was across the road from the Mission Room building. I am wondering if what was Blackbird Hall became the Fountain Inn and Fountains yard. I don't have access to the census records so I checked the North east War Memorials site and found there were 5 residents of Fountain(s) Yard listed.

@Dorothy Glover & @Canny lass :- attempted to show Then and Now. One 2019 map showing all the areas that have been mentioned and the other zoomed in to show the current streets where Sawmill used to be. Hope that helps

@Dorothy Glover :- I have never heard of Sawmill Road and Sawmill Road. I have searched this group, via the search facility at the top right of the page, but no entries for sawmill Road. If you want to search for a phrase (two or more words) then put " around the words eg "Sawmill Road" otherwise the system returns entries for every occurrence of every word in the phrase . Any other info that might help locate the area of Bedlington? @Canny lass - have you heard of Sawmill Road?

Michael Gair - Facebook group Past Times History - has named No 34 as Catherine Rutter.

@Canny lass :- I can still remember my Grandpa's last words before he kicked the bucket. He said, "Hey, how far do you think I can kick this bucket?" What did Batman say to Robin before they got in the car? Robin, get in the car. What's red and smells like blue paint? Red paint. What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor? Where's my tractor? Ask me if I'm a tree. Are you a tree? No. Knock, knock. Who's there? Steve. Steve who? Steve proceeds to break down into tears because his Grandmother's Alzheimer's has advanced to the stage where she no longer remembers him.

@Canny lass :- The Pope and Donald Trump are on stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leaned towards Trump and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and for the rest of their lives whenever they speak of this day, they will rejoice!" Trump replied, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me!" So the Pope slapped him. A man died one day and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter replied, "Those are lie clocks. Everyone on earth has a lie-clock. Every time you lie the hands on the clock will move." "Oh," said the man as he pointed at one of them, "Whose clock is that?" St. Peter replied, "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." "That's incredible, " said the man. St. Peter pointed to another clock, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe only told two lies in his entire life." The man was impressed, and then asked, "Where's Donald Trump's clock?" St. Peter said, "His clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan." Donald Trump is not a sexual abuser. He's an alternative romantic. Donald Trump has announced that now he's President he's going to ban the sale of pre-shredded cheese. He wants to make America grate again. What does the Secret Service say when Donald Trump gets shot at? - Donald! Duck! Why can't Trump be hanged for treason? - Fake noose. Donald Trump walks into a bar ... And lowers it. I'm sick of people comparing Hitler to Trump. - Hitler wrote his own book. Bill Gates has agreed to pay for Donald Trump's wall. - On the condition he gets to install windows.
