  6. Not one Reedy's dad mentioned but looking through Evan Martin's book - The Shire of Bedlington in old picture postcards - slide 9 shows the Freemason's ('Masons') Arms - Front Street West
  7. Never noticed any of them. Can't see (via Google) any on the two Co-op buildings at Bedlington Station but the Stakeford Coop one does stand out, when you look up - must have spent my youth staring at the ground!
  8. I'll second that - the 'Remainers' turned to 'comfort' eating with the mind blowing Brexit talks and the final straw, turning Big Ben off their body clocks hadn't a clue when to stop eating comfort food.
  9. Close up, from house in Church Lane, taken this morning by Simon Williams :-

    Photo from Andy Brown - Bygone Bedlington Facebook group & names from Andy Brown and Judith Rutherford.
  11. On the Facebook Bygone Bedlington group site a question from Darren Martin Smith Hi i have a question, dose anyone know if the dome shaped structure i have highlighted on the picture of the market place club was once the housing for a second world war air raid siren? There are several buildings locally that have similar structures including the old COOP building at Stake ford and the COOP at Bedlington Station. I have seen them all the place atop large buildings. Not my photo i lifted it from Google so thank you to whoever took it. I have no idea - Searched on Google but no info returned :-
  12. Don't care if they are in use or redundant but I think there should be a law that states every dwelling has to keep their original chimney. Not for creating public sector employment but for identifying old photographs. As chimney stacks and pots are disappearing identifying old street views becomes more difficult. Let's start a national campaign :- The uphold Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree group. The TUC CCCCCC. Does @Symptoms sweep his Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree?

  16. @Andy Millne - a member, Stephen Collingwood, on the Bedlington remembered Facebook site posted :- My granny was born and lived in clock house... that stone was above the doorway... when the house was demolished a band stand was built on the free wood side. This stone was incorporated into the bandstand. When the band stand was demolished god knows what happened to the stone' This photo of the Clock House was posted on the Facebook sixtownships site and I have pasted the image from the newspaper article onto it :-
  17. 'Inside every fat man there's a thin man trying to get out' - so the answer is simple = show an obese person a video of how to tease the thin person out with a cake and start all over again :-
  18. Just checked on the local Facebook sites @allen111 but nobody else in the photo identified.
  19. Champion - Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air.. Where are the clowns?
  20. I hope Brexit will bring us a full range of Emoticons.
  21. Some will win; some will loose; some will never know the difference and others won't even know it happened. I think all the discussing should be left to the Brexit negotiators and the rest of us should just switch off when multiple seemingly contradictory statements are broadcast by the media, almost daily. On the other hand, as Spuggy & brownsugar were not members of this site when the Brexit vote was on it's way the following is just to let them know that there are 15 who knew what was going to happen and should easily be able to advise them of what will happen :-
