Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Searching for info on the Barrington Double Row I noticed this old posting on 'Double Row - Bedlington'. Double Row, Bedlington never appears on any of the old maps that search - http://maps.nls.uk/ New South Row first appears on the 1921 map and the only reason I could guess at the names is because South Row already existed at the 'A' pit, Bedlington Station. South Row, although not named until the 1921 map, is drawn on the 1858 & 1896 maps. Was there a Double Row at the Doctor Pit ?

Latest rumour on the Top Club/Laird's House = 'Yeah it was sold a while ago. It been turned into an upmarket B&B upstairs and a restaurant downstairs. I can't find a planning application on the NCC site. Does anyone know if the latest rumour has any truth in it? Did notice an application (it was top of the list, so no extensive searching) on the Lion Garage.

Four blonds run into a bar shouting 85 days, just 85 days! A guy asks the blonds - , just 85 days? The four blonds reply - Yes just 85 days. We completed the puzzle in just 85 days and the box says 2 - 4 years!

They can't help - Not A Toilet Organisation.

I have - 2 left hand fingers + 2 right hand fingers = 4k off!

Never noticed it - must start to watch the scenery, regardless of the assistance and necessary guidance the wife gives me, when driving.

From your initial comment I am sure you have done loads of searching on the www only to find there's not a lot you can do, even if the owner of the gun is not following the NFU guidelines. I know complaints take ages to get seen and normally the response to the majority of complaints is 'current guidelines are not being broken etc. etc' but I still think it's worth you, and every other resident in the area, filling in a complaint and requesting the noise levels of the gun be measured to ensure they are within current NCC/Eu/NFU/...... guidlines. Attached the West Riding Guidelines extract from their PDF document as it's often handy to use/copy council words when complaining.

Bay An uncle on mine, born Beatty Road, Bedlington, 1938 said the story about the Monkey in the window was not true. However tThe Barrington Arms got a paragraph in Issue No 138 - February/March 2014 of The Northumbrian - Gordon Wilkinson (journalist I think) on a subject 'How a Pub makes a name for itself' has written :- ...... However a look in the window of the Barrington Arms in Bedlington during the Second World War could have brought good news to those fancying a pint. Beer was rationed in those days but it could be in short supply , so the landlord would stick a stuffed monkey in the window to tip off those in the know that he had received a consignment. The pub has been named the nicknamed The Monkey ever since.' -------------------------- No mention of where he got the story from.

I remain delighted and will try and develop my political judgement.
