I assume @Andy Millne will 'refresh' the Bedlington Timeline held on this site but is it @johndawsonjune1955 that actually does the updates?

Double or quits? I'm feeling generous! Round that up to 5p.

Double or quits?

Well I'm with you ♀️ and I don't like the ball, or the hair cuts, either. I think the Swiss keeper's 40 denier tights are way to evocative. I hope it doesn't go to penalties

I have no idea - Ave Wgt - to me would be Average Weight but that doesn't fit. Link to the site where I got the table from is https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/index.html

The above, found whilst 'Silver Surfing' by Billy Embleton, has been posted on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group. We don't have any info other that what is printed on the document. Just to ensure that if anyone uses the 'Search' facility looking for info that this document may hold here are some phrases from the document ; Mary Ann Short - Golden Wedding 1851 - 1901 & .... we cannot refrain from mentioning your gallan effort in trying to rescue two hundred and four brothers entombed in the Hartley pit and it ministers to our pride to feel that "John Short" is written on the scroll of heros.......................... --------------------------------- I did have a Google of the Hartley pit disaster but I can't find any reference, from that Google, of John and Mary Short.

Hearty congratulations from the management.

@Bella :- I'm not saying you will find the answer to your question but have you input the name "Hemming" into the search box, top right hand corner, to see the topis the name Hemming is linked with? I see a similar question has been asked on the Facebook group - Bedlington remembered by a new member, Diane, from Canada. Is there a link between Diane & Bella?

I was going to say: - put your cash up front, but you probably don't have any. Sweden is the most cashless society on the planet - barely 1% of the value of all payments made using coins or notes last year. Maddy Savage - British freelance journalist & presenter in Sweden says :- "It's been mainly positive reactions. We love to use our cards here in Stockholm." ------------------------------------ Across the country, cash is now used in less than 20% of transactions in stores - half the number five years ago, according to the Riksbank, Sweden's central bank. Coins and banknotes have been banned on buses for several years after unions raised concerns over drivers' safety. Even tourist attractions have started to gamble on taking plastic-only payments, including Stockholm's Pop House Hotel and The Abba Museum. Could the World Cup final be v Get your Chip & Pin on it!

And will Saturday 7th July tear you apart CL?

It's not. This was Tony's comments on Facebook when a question was asked about When The Prince of Wales theater opened on the Glebe Bank :-

Well I never knew that. Ok if I use your research on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group and see if any member knows this? @tonyg - will say he has a document in his box file

I've chosen my book for Belgium v England =

Then & Now (2009) and the sign on the side has it as an Evangalist Chapel :-

Google street view showing 35 Stead Lane, 2018. This 1938 map (published 1947) shows there were no houses between Stead Lane and the woods looking across to Bebside ( Blyth). I have only ever known the on Catholic Church in Bedlington and that is St. Bedes thta is still along catholic Row at the Red Lion that is at the top of the bank as you go from the Hartlands estate to the Red Lion :-

Cheers Sym - it did seem obvious but had to check. Surprised the DMM never refers to it in the history of the 'A' pit! I probably was told, in the 50's or 60's, it was Sleekburn 'A' but just can't remember any of my family, neighbours or mates (who started there in the mid 60's ) using the Sleekburn name. I posted the image on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group and one member commented :- I worked there my dad worked there and my grandad was sadly killed there my dad would always say this is sleekburn pit he would never accept that the name had changed......

@jimmcglen - I have been attempting to identify everyone in our old family photos and my London cousins have also sent me photos to identify. One of the photos, outside No 11 Beatty Road, with two of my cousins, Sheila & Lawrence Moore (mother = Peggy Henderson) plus 3 children that I would assume lived in Beatty Road. The date of the photo would be c1960. I can't remember the two faces on the right as you look at the photo but the lad on the left is definitely familiar but I haven't been able to drag a name out of my memory. Could he be a McGlenn?

This photo was posted on Facebook - sixtownships group - by Danny Winter. He says he tidied the photo up a bit and in doing so he had covered up the pavement outside the bungalows on Stead Lane :-

@Vic Baldry - I thought I had remembered a posting with a photo of Doyles shop, Stead Lane but I couldn't find the posting I was thinking of. There is however this photo of the shop before it was called Doyle's = Boyle's shop with this comment from Ann Doyle off the Bedlington Facebook group :- 'This photo was taken outside of Boyle's shop on Stead Lane across the road from Puddlers Row, the shop then belonged to my husbands Great Aunt Grace Boyle the lady on the right of photo, when Grace passed away his Granny Winifred Creigh took over she is the lady on the left they were sisters. The young girl seated Margaret was then aged about 15 the daughter of Winifred, she later married a Tom Doyle and her and her hubby took over the shop and was known as Doyle's Shop Stead Lane. The shop eventually closed in 1980 and I believe to this day the bus stop is still known as Doyle's Shop although it is a house now.'
