The two things to look out for when searching for Shankhouse - 1) The Albion Pub and 2) Hastings Terrace. The Albion pub, demolished years ago and houses built, was between Hastings Terrace, Shankhouse and the Cramlington Fire Station. Both Hastings Terrace and the Fire Station building (no longer used by the fire brigade ) still exist. If you came out of The Hastings pub, turned right went past the Fire Station along the road about half a mile and turned right at the small row of houses = Bog Houses and pass them about quarter of a mile to the Horton Road. Cross the Horton Road and you are at The Three Horse Shores.

Bedlington Royal Oaks FC

Info found in the Morpeth Herald by two Facebook Bedlington Remembered members :- Margaret Williamson :- Found this from the Morpeth Herald 1909 - ... BEDLINGTON ROYAL OAK A.F.C. The above club held a supper and social at their headquarters, Red Lion Inn, on Saturday night last. The chair was taken by Mr. Robert Thompson. A good repast was ably served by the host, Mr. J. Turnbull), after which the evening ... Ovalteeny :- As part of my research into football in Bedlington I have quickly looked at The Morpeth Herald for 11th. April 1908 and found a league table for The Wansbeck League, see image that shows Bedlington Royal Oak having an narrow lead, but with still 5 games to play. I'll have a further look tomorrow to see what the final table was and also read up some of the copy to see if I can find out more about the team/club. -
Anyone ever heard of and know anything about this team. As Royal Oaks is a fairly common name for a pub I checked both Evan Martin's list of Hotels, Inns, Taverns & Beerhouses in 1886 and the Bennett's Business Directory, of 1905, and no establishment using the name Royal Oak in the lists.

The National Trust have put the word Easter back into their 'Egg Hunt' ( placement around words or phrases used in a special sense or purposefully misused) - so it's now "..... Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt 2018."

1956-57 Intermediate team
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) commented on Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s gallery image in Historic Bedlington
This could be fun HPW - I will see what I can find out using discretion, tact and diplomacy! On Facebook Carl Wilkinson posted the two team photos in one post. To try and avoid confusion when people started naming the team members (cos they don't normally tell you which photo they are commenting on) I split the photos added the numbers and created separate postings. On the 1954-55 team photo where I attempted to avoid confusion, by posting it on it's own, a member, Wendy Ready commented :- Wendy Ready No 3 my uncle and my dad Joe hale is number10 on the other pic x - so that's why I named No 10 as Joe Hale on this 1956-57 team photo. So rather than having to switch between the two photos in this album I will create a posting in the History Hollow section, with both photos, and when we have the names sorted I will update the Gallery images. -

Reedy asked his dad, born 1928, and Reedy reported back with :- Although before his time he thinks the building to the right of the clock house was a wages or timekeepers office. There was a shop on the Bebside bank on the opposite side of the bridge at the bottom of the hairpin bend run by a family called Munley. Lynne Watson - replied - Paul Reed thank you - that will be it. I do apologise for getting the shop in the wrong place 🙂 -

My aunt worked in Cobbledicks shop which is the one on the very right of the photo almost hidden. My Dad found this photo many years ago and got a copy made.

@Rigger - was the Bedlington Community Centre - Creatives Group, that have done a lot of research on Bedlington soldiers to create their 'Poppy Map' one of the usual sources you have tried? They produced a list of Bedlington Soldiers' 'Poppy Map' and I believe they have retained info that they uncovered in their research :- http://www.bedlingtoncommunitycentre.co.uk/ Address: 60 W End Front St, Bedlington NE22 5UB Phone: 01670 824141
