Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

I think he did well to hit the hole, if it hadn't of been for that one bit of railing at the bottom of the steps he would have been away and out down the path to the exit at Carlisle Park

Would the History Society be interested in a stall at this years Bedlington Picnic - June 30th. Vic Thompson on Facebook posted a comment '....

I prefer pubs but I suppose @lesmes gets his Topic back Has anybody noticed? By lesmes, February 23 in Chat Central

@moe19 - reply from Eddie was :- 'Jim and Betty had a house in Wooler next to the Tankerville arms. The also had a property in Palma Majorca where they spent most times. They had a retirement party at the Pub which we all attended. Then a young lad from Crammy surname Davy. Eric's son who was a mate of mine took over the Pub for a short time. Then he left and it was boarded up. Before it went up in flames in the early hours. I watched it from my window in Hastings Tce. Aye suspicious to say the least. This is at the retirement party .with my impression of Betty with Barmaid Pauline. ps - I suppose we should now get back to Easter Eggs

Eddie Hindhaugh posted the photo, middle right, as the night before the pub closed for good but he does not give the date. He does say the pub 'accidently' caught fire and burnt down in 1992. I've added a couple more, from Eddie, to the composition. The bottom left photo shows that poster you posted @moe19 and it had three names (Sugar, Ernie & Danny) with it but there are 4 in the photo so don't know which three are named. The bottom right shows another room, I think, of the pub.

and the crap hanging from the ceiling :-

One of the regulars at The Albion (The Folly) was Eddie Hindhaugh and he often comments on the Sixtownships Facebook group and I remembered he had posted some photos of inside the pub. So I asked him if he could remember the name of the goat and you were right to be thinking Billy or Benny - Eddie replied with :- Billy and Benny . There was 2 Goats. And 2 German Shepherds. Joe Joe was one . The other lived outside. As a guard Dog. + there was always a load of crap hanging from the ceiling. This is a compilation of the photos from the Albion that Eddie has posted and I have added the names of who he said they were :-
