Photo from Paul Desmond Slowey = No 10 in the photo and he is not sure of the year it was taken. The Rangers did not have a permanent home ground and played most of their home games at Hirst Park Ashngton or whatever field they could borrow for the day. This photo was taken at Hirst Park in January 1979. The names of the players, on both photos, are from Paul and Colin Campbell = No 5 in this photo -

I'll have to scratch a bit more Pete but I think there is a faint memory lurking in the depths on my mind. The number of times I went through that cut to school - 1954 (Barrington) ; 1965 (BGS) and then to The Percy Arms (1966 to 1969) I must been in there and helped myself to some vegetable. or did they have pigs ?

No 16 updated = Dennis Connell. -
Now you have me scratching the old head Pete. I remember a Jimmy and Clark Mole - Waverley Avenue. Did their relation have a piece of land between Pioneer and Waverley Ave.? Half way down the cut, on the left hand side as you went down to Waverley Avenue

I remember, late 1960's, a dentists on Pioneer Terrace that I have been to but no idea what number it was but I think you could be close Pete as my memory says it wasn't far down when you came through the pedestrian cut from Waverley Avenue to Pioneer Terrace.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/medical-cannabis/#Thanks @Richard Bloomfield@Richard Bloomfield - do you know if Bedlington Rangers FC played at the Dr Pit Welfare Park? This is the 1979 squad, posted on Facebook by Paul Slowey, and this photo was taken at Ashington :-
@Lee Foster- another member, on the Facebook Bygone Bedlington group has said they currently live in Pioneer Terrace and the deeds show it as having been called Wingrove House. I have asked this member how much further info, if any, they want to disclose and I am waiting for a reply.@Lee Foster - aerial view showing Pioneer Terace, Bedlington Station and the Ha'penny woods where Rose Cottage was :-
That is correct Lee - Bedlingtons railway station was built and opened in Sleekburn in 1850. So Bedlington residents had to travel the 1.5 - 2.0 miles to Bedlingtons station and eventually (I don't know when) the area became know as Bedlington Station.
Don't know of any where local but I do remember there was an elderly lady that suffered with MS, and I think it was Carlisle, that made the news because her landlord was going to evict her for using drugs on his premises. I think I have the gist of the story correct in that this lady, to relieve her pain, discomfort and other MS related neurological symptoms she used to meet up with others in a similar situation and eat cake that had been made with an amount of cannabis in the mixture. I can't find that particular news story, from many years ago, online but did find this one from 2001 :- http://www.cwherald.com/a/archive/coffee-cakes-and-cannabis-in-cumbria.259504.html
