Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Here's an older photo c1928. This was posted on the Bygone Bedlington site by Tracey Temple with the comment :- 'My Aunty is trying to remember some of the children in this photo, taken approximately 1928/29 at the Infant school that was opposite St Cuthberts. if anyone can fill in any gaps for her she will be very happy! She is coming up to 95, to give an indication of the age the kids will be now.' Tracey asked me to post the photo here to see if anyone in the photo can be identified, naturally as a distant relative to the members on here.

On the surface it looks like the Alnwick Garden CEO, Mark Brassell, knows who's back to scratch! Do we know what interest rate, if any, this proposed loan will attract?

Don't think so CL - I would say that's his son at the Market Place club, 1974. For eating & drinking of various luxury goods, around 1956, at The Howard Arms the then Guiness World Record holder is said to have been 47. But I could be totally wrong.

The Howard Arms gets an entry in the Bedlington Timeline document compiled by local historians :- 1956 Joe Steel, Bedlington’s champion eater was at it again. The then 42 year old munched his way through a 4 1/2 Ib steak and kidney pie about 1 foot in diameter and 3 1/2 inches deep in 17 1/2 minutes. to break another record and gain another championship by beating 24 year old Ted Stoddard of Ashington. The event was held in the Howard Arms, Bedlington on Monday August 6th. On the 23rd February 2016 this post was made on the Facebook group Bedlington Renenbered by Stephen Steel :- my great great grandfather joe steel bedlington sausage eating champion 1960's James Craik I remember Joe from Waverly avenue. Young Joe still lives there. Big family still in Bedlington. Nice bloke, my dad used to tell me about him eating sausage and he travelled to France to win an eating competition. Other comments on sixtownships group :- Lawrence Pattison :- He went to the Town Moor Hoppings and people paid to see him eat Robert Nicholson :- Joe used to enter all types of food eating compatitions at the Howard. Scott Campbell :- My grandma was barmaid at the Howard and she remembers the eating and drinking competitions. Often talks about them. Mike Irvine Lived opposite my parents on Millbank Road, could also eat pies by the plate full.

Local unknown artist or world renowned artist?

Those were the days, me, and the other 6 were ever so

Seen many photos with Bill Pearcey in Pete so would say it was the 50s. The lass that uploaded the photo didn't know who had coloured the Black & White photo so don't know about the blue colour. @Ovalteeny might know if they ever played in that colour.

Everyone in this world can draw. You shouldn't compare what you draw against any other drawing, sketch or painting, if you enjoy doing it then do it.. Oxford English Dictionary definition of Modern Art :- ....art of a style marked by a significant departure from traditional styles and values, in particular that created between the late 19th and the late 20th centuries.......... Eggy1948 definition of Modern Art :- it's what ever you want Art Critic :- should not be allowed to have a comment. Interpreting a work done by any artist should come in two sentances :- 1) I like that. Where the word like doesn't mean anything but can mean whatever you like. 2. I don't like that. Where the word like means 'Not on my house walls'. I used to doodle, on A3 sheets of paper used as a desk pad, at work in the late 60s (as I was so efficient I had loads of spare time to while away!) and kept some of my doodles but I think they got moved from box to box, house to house that I have no idea where they are. I was proud of them, that's art. Lets get your art out, and post in this topic, for the lads & lasses of this site to be an art critic, for fun of course, so you can compare one person's interpretation with another. I did keep a few of my pics, out of the stuff that was boxed over the years, and kept them in a folder, that I have easy access and it's my art that still makes me smile today eg. tribute to the death of Walt Disney (1966) :-

Anyone know the names of these Mechanics footballers? Photo from Helen Millar (Bygone Bedlington facebook group) - still trying to find out what the event was and why only 6 of the squad in the photo with the Army/Reserves lot.

Haffy - never seen an Ashington community forum - only the group they have on Facebook - 8,588 members. Never seen what photos etc. they have on the Facebook site as it's a 'Closed Group' and you have to join to view the Photos.

I see there are 86 members in the 'PAST PUPILS OF WESTRIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL BEDLINGTON' that Foxy has posted the link for in a previous comment - might not all be of the 'more mature members' but should be some to boost your reunion do.

Champion.

When you say pit houses are you saying :- Dr. Pitt = Shiney Row - Dr. Terrace - New South Row - Cross Row & Telephone Row 'A' Pitt = South Row - North Row - & Shop Row Barrington - Alexandra Row - Freehold Row - Victoria Row - Office Row - Double Row - Chapel Row - Middle Row - Blacksmiths Row - School Row - Stone Row & Railway Row. Not that I lived in any of them but I do know about them. What row(s) did you live in @Haffy ?

Pity they had to 'pebble-dash' (cos a don't know the right term for adding non-slip material onto the tarmac) that riverside walk. On a mobility scooter even those small chippings make you feel as if your riding over cobble stones and if you haven't got ya teeth glued in it's murder! I see they took the the one disabled bay away from outside the Newcastle Hotel so if tour wanting to eat then The Three Wheat Heads, in Thropton is worth a visit and normally lunch time through the week ample parking. Through the main door and turn right for the bar and left for the restaurant with a pleasing view. Bar meals served in both areas.
