  5. Contemplated doing that then thought why try and work it out, and possibly advise non members incorrectly, when admin could tell me what was built into the system and non members could see how efficient, and exact, the admin of this community site are. That's why
  6. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/local-news/anger-over-channel-4s-geordies-1374505 Sorry HPW - I know I'm not helping with your topic question - but Geordies Overboard was brilliant.
  7. Think there were extracts for the documentary - Geordies Overboard - on youtube but can't find a link to one that is still current. This is an extract from the http://www.northeastmaritime.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7385 posting :-
  8. I think I have this right - Barry Elliot was the main contractor for the building. I believe he still lives in the first house in the row of houses he built at South Beach and I first heard of him when I stumbled, late one night when I was in charge of the remote, on a CH4 2 part documentary on Blyth's privately run lifeboat service. I will see if any of the documentary is online anywhere - this is a link to an article in The Journal, following the documentary :- http://www.thejournal.co.uk/news/local-news/fears-over-blyth-lifeboat-future-4400695
  9. @Andy Millne - before the new system was introduced non members could not view all the topics. I often reference postings on this site so the Facebook Bedlington group members can visit and view this site. Is it the same now or with the sharing across different platforms can non members view all the topics?
  10. The builder Barry Elliot!!!!! (nee chance, but a cud be rang) or Canny Lass?
  11. Oh no - just no point in starting up the engines, big CC's, if it's not raining.
  12. We could have a referendum : – Boris to stand for Worse & Gove to stand for Worserer Tick one box only Worse Or Worserer Then if the outcome is worserer than first thought we could ask to pull out of Brexit and reinstate Cameron and Osborne into government and have another referendum. If that seems worserer than the worst scenario then we could get 'even worserer' and ask May and Corbyn to form a coalition government allowing Nicola Sturgeon to form a body of high-ranking carpenters, assisted by joiners, to lead on specific policy areas such as worse, or worserer Health, Transport, Defence etc. Think I might just stand for the next election, but only if it’s raining.
  13. Alan Maguire says No 24 definitely Peter Smith

  19. Copied the comment from Andy onto the topic on Bygone Bedlington Facebook group and the first response was :- 'things are not set in stone yet it will go ahead and the gentleman that own it are lovely but there are some discrepancies in the plans thst need to be ironed out as the residential property next door is owned by our family'
  20. From the album: St. Bede's Primary & Senior School

    Photo from Anne Haigh-Ferguson (No 24) Bygone Bedlington Facebook group
  21. Names updated by members on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group
  22. @Jr6468 - off the subject of footballers, I'm hoping you can help me with the names St Bede's & St Benet Biscop's so I can attribute some old photos to the correct school. Were the junior & senior schools both called St Bede's? Was it only when the senior school took over the old Westridge school was the name St. Benet Biscop used? I have photos to post in one of the albums and they are of 'senior school' (15 year old's) at Ford Castle in the late 60's and they have been posted as St. Bedes.
  23. Malcolm Tait - Bygone Bedlington posted this photo in Feb 2016 asking if anyone could name him. Many remembered the act but the strongman's name. A few weeks later and Malcolm posted the back of his blurred photo with the artists autograph - Johny Citrone
