Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Malcolm - searching through History Hollow, for info on Netherton Colliery, I noticed this old posting of yours. Did you get the 4 photos identified ? Have you still got them and any chance of posting them separately so I can get a better view? Eggy

I would say - Smack in the middle of the existing roundabout with all the info - Merc lecterns - at every entrance and exist off the roundabout and outside the Red Lion. This is a 'non-artists' impression of the possible sites:-

Damian - between Robert Morland & Bryan Cole, on the sixtownships site, they named him as Alan Stappard (but always called Harry!) - and had a comment :- recognised him and the bike but that would be over 40 years ago and wasn't,t really sure . He was an electrician at netherton and sadly was killed there a nice lad and motorbike daft .

Thanks Damian - let you know if there is any reaction to the posting.

He will have to wait in line behind - Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub. Here is the clock, the Trumpton clock. Telling the time, steadily, sensibly; never too quickly, never too slowly. Telling the time for Trumpton.

Brilliant - hard to work out what those two main characters grew up to be - dog handlers or car body repair technicians! Damian - I would assume you have no objection in the link to this video on your Youtube page being shared. There are a few ex Netherton residents on the Facebook groups - Bygone Bedlington & Bedlington Remembered that often ask if anyone has any old photos of colliery streets especially Plessey Street. What streets are they in the video? Eggy.

Q. What happens when Donald Trump takes Viagra? A. He grows taller. News Headline :- An earthquake with a strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale hit the Middle East. Two million Muslims died and 1 million were injured. President Trump, wanting to help as much as possible, is sending back 2 million replacement Muslims.
