I joined the group in 2013 and I remember coming accross his comments on the housing and the families that lived at the Bank Top in the 1940's :-

@Canny lass if I am on the right wave length was Joe Rooney, ex Banktop moved to Australia, a member of this group and he posted lots of info in History Hollow on the area and the families around the Banktop?

So at the top left this is Gatehouse/Doctors Row ? :- And I joined two photos together (using the railway line asa guidline) to show the area east of the Furnace bridge and will Old Gate Row be the row on the right hand photo ie the row closest to the house that looks as if it is being demolished?
-
@Canny lass - I remeber you did a lot of research into the Furnace/Bebside area and was it Old gate Row, along with another row, that was at the top of the Hairpin Bend. If that's the one then we have a photo, looking up from the Furnace bridge area showing the two rows.

@Pegwoman shared your photo on the Bygone Bedlington Facebok group but no response from the members I sepculated that your uncle would have gone to the Bedlington County primary School, Ridge Terrace at the Wst End of bedlington as that would have been the nearest school to Shiney Row. That school opened c1916. Are you from Bedlington or would you like to see maps of the area showing where the old schools were?

@Pegwoman - I can't remember having seen, or even heard of, the first aid sets for school kids. I checked on the local Facebook group, Bygone Bedlington, but couldn't find anything having been posted about them. Ok if I share one of your photos plus your comment with the Bygone Bedlington group?

@Miner Granddaughter not something I have ever looked into and i think the only active members that I have noticed posting in connection with St Cuthbert's are @Maggie/915 & @Bedlingtonian

I did a search John and I the Bedlington Terrier North east Club has a Facebook group but only members can view it and I can't find any way of contacting them outside of that group and i don't want to join the group Found some images online showing phots from the yearly meet up of the group on the 20 acre field in 2021 : 2021 gathering :- Tallantyes have advertised previous gatherings but can't find any notifucation for this year :- 2022 advert Tallantyre 2024 advert :- Facebook group :-

They do celebrate the breed @John H Williams - or they used to. There was an annual gathering of anyone with a Bedlington terrier and they walked through the town to a place they could all gather. Don't know if it still happens but I will have a search.. My memory says it maded the TV once but I think that was to do with some 'celebrity' (hate that word) who was doing a tour around Northumberland (and possibly further afield) and they stopped off in Bedlington on the day of the annual bedlington Terrier event. I could be wrong but I thing it was Larry Lamb who played Mick in the Gavin & Stacey show.

I'm the founder member of that club
