@Canny lass the DMM site is a site that is recognised by browsers or the Security Software you have on your device as 'Not Secure' and that's why you get the 403 error. My security software - Malwarebytes warns you that a site is not secure and gives you the option to 'contnue' or 'block access' to the site. As I said 'continue' for access to DMM my Secrity Software saved that response for the DMM site and I am nolonger asked the question when I access DMM. There used to be 'padlock' logo at the start of a 'secure' site name but that appears to have changed to awhat looks like a couple of Keys but when you click on the Keys the infois displayed. DMM site with 'Not Secure' at begining :- Amazon uk site with 'Keys' :-

@7RIrF & @Canny lass Red Row - we played there as kids as one of the pupis. Ronnie Phillips (opr Phillipson) lived in the Row when we were at Barrington County primary School - 1953 to 1960. I think all the families were moved out in the early 1960's as I remember we used to play in the derelict houses = jumping out of the upstairs windows into the garden area. Think there is a photo of the row in one of the Evan Martin books on Bedlington/Barrington. The photo is from when you go over the bridge on Stakeford Row that now leads on to Red Row and part of the new housing estate that is built there is called Red Row Court.

@7RIrF this topic was created by @Symptoms directing the members to the work that ex member Rigger (Derek Johnstone) had done investigating the soldiers from Bedlington that had been in WWI. I don't think there is any reference to WWII. This is a direct link to the site that Rigger created :- https://docplayer.net/152715054-Bedlington-soldiers-who-died-in-the-great-war.html

Checked with John Krzyzanowski and he hasn't found any info so we don't have any definate proof but I would say you were right. This is G Robinson's advert in the St Cuthbert's parish magazine of 1947 sent to me electronically by Peter Morgan :-

Haven't looked into it yet - been out of action for a few days - but will do some checking over the weekend (I hope)

Name added

John Krzyzanowski found these on one of his Memory Sticks but he can't remember where he got the images from or how long he has had them. Had a 'Google' but can't find anything out about this Free Press

Photo from Helen Millar on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group. Helen's dad, Bill pearcey played for Bedlington Mechanics in the 50's as well as other local . We haven't managed to identify this team as the strip does not match any of those in the Gallery 'Sports' albums. Anyone any ideas on the team or names of anyone in the photo?
