  1. Don't know any McCafferty's @Elaine McHattie - I see you have had a search of this site finding the info, list of names, from @Reedy's dad. Is that your family that reedy's dad has living in Puddlers Row in the 50s? Families in Puddlers Row approx mid 1950s (some show numerous or duplicate names as families moved or swapped houses)- 1 - McGarry/McAndrews 2 - Donohoe 3 - McCafferty

  10. 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!
  11. 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.

  14. 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 :-
  15. 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?
