Westridge Late 50s

@Canny lass - from the names you have given I do remember bringing up the fact that my sister-in-law, Betty Hall, was identified by you in one of the class photos. I can't find any photo with Betty named on it so it must have been this one. I could either say a) it was my memory that had failed and I hadn't totally forgot to do anything with the photo or b ) we were in that transitional period on this site when I was having numerous fails attempting to load photos and when Andy sorted out the problems my memory had still failed to remember what I had been doing! So while everything, including my short term memory, is working your list of names added to the photo -

Aren't 'opportunities' wonderful - cheers Andy.

Couldn't believe it when that document turned up!! There's a similar roundabout on the outskirts of Seaton Delaval
-
If only I had just said - yes, the bricked area is there to be used. Instead I wondered, is there info in the highway code or anywhere else that a simple Google search will reveal? Oh to be a Technical author! I believe the simple explanation is something like :- a single lane road that requires a roundabout to allow access to and from the road may require an additional lane, only on the roundabout, that allows large vehicles additional space (another lane) to turn on and off the single lane road. But if you really want to impress your fellow Friday night ale tasters with a full explanation of the Geometric Design of Roundabouts then read the 51 pages in this documnet :- http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/ha/standards/dmrb/vol6/section2/td1607.pdf

Just an idea... Heritage Walking Tours
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Canny lass's topic in Talk of the Town
Who would organise walking tours :- West, East, & Central Bedlington Town Council groups - Bedlington Local History Society etc.? Who would know if it had already been discussed - Malcolm Robinson - Adam Hogg - Steven Young (Town Clerk?)? -

Non Members - what topics can they see?
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s topic in Chat Central
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 -
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.

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 :-

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

@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?

The builder Barry Elliot!!!!! (nee chance, but a cud be rang) or Canny Lass?
-
Oh no - just no point in starting up the engines, big CC's, if it's not raining.

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.
