Tonyp - have you still got the link address in your 'History-browsing data'?

Search for 'Bouncers' and you should get a bit about the Clayton Ballroom in the Topic Bedlington Miners Picnic 1960Started by highpitter, Dec 28 2013 12:00 P

Bayardm - somebody must have tidied up. In the Journal article the country park is listed, under the NCC group as getting an award:- http://www.thejourna...r-north-7515218 NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL Astley Park Carlisle Park Doctor Pit Park Hexham Parks Hirst Park

Your right Symptons on the Martin Henderson. It just happened, as normal in a pub, that his sister was showing some old photos and this was the only one I borrowed for posting on this site. He is not related to Mickey. Ken Pearson is the only other one I put a name to. I never went to Whitley. Knew Ken through the senior school and his parents as I went to their flat every Sunday morning in the early 1960s to collect the newspapers for delivery around the Station, Steadlane and Terrier.

Certainly can, but no family photos of the park. Remember all the rides. Was there also one called the 'Lollipop'? Pictures of similar rides found on the www:- Am I right in saying that in the 50s-60s there was also a Bowling Green, that we, as kids, weren't allowed to use.

For those of you saving old Whitley Memorial junior football team photos - managed to obtain this one from 1961-62 season. Ken Pearson holding the ball.

Old sayings still ring true :-

My informant would appear to be totally wrong. The object is not to score 2048 exactly but to get as high as score as possible. Back to the game, informant informed that the older generation knows best. Grandchild accepts the decision of the wise one.

Not the worlds best game but like most of these on-line games, a challenge just to say - 'done it'. At http://2048game.com/ Just using the 4 arrow keys you join like numbers -2,4,8,16,32,62.128 etc. and try and score exactly 2048. There are no bells or whistles (not on my machine) to say you have reached, or exceeded 2048, so if you are not watching you can easily go over.

I don't find this funny . http://fr.worldtop.org/category/top/femme-station-service/

fb liked. also found this site - http://www.westbedlington.org.uk/?page_id=793 but did not find a link on it to the fb site!

Agreed, no matter what the cost.

Tony - couldn't remember the Teacher's name when I first saw the picture but your Dr Parrot has jogged my memory - Dr J.D. Parrack. Confirmed the name by visiting Mansel Dinnis's (ex head boy early 1960's) web site :- http://www.sempersursum.co.uk/Bedlington_Grammar_School/BGS_Welcome.html Kevin Can't help with the names of the football teams Welwyn too early for me and the BGS one too late for me, I left in 1965. Did see most of the BGS team in the Photos of the 'sempursersum' site - Photos 1961-1978 and scroll down to 1973 - Last Sixth Form. Seeing the whole class together might help remember some names.

ex B - The more the merrier I say. Brett - expected a YES - No vote Completed the standard registration, hoping it counts as a YES to visit Northumberland but after that - too many links and questions for me www.vote4northumberland.com - Go to:- http://www.visitnorthumberland.com/sharenland :- Go to https://britishtravelawards.com/vote_form.php - completed this bit but not the subsequent links :- https://britishtravelawards.com/vote_update.php https://britishtravelawards.com/vote_new.php https://britishtravelawards.com/survey.php If I got through that lot I would expect a GCSE 'O' Level certificate! When I complete online surveys etc. I use a gmail account/address I created for this type of survey (and anything else I don't want to get replies from). That way my local Outlook inbox is not inundated with promotions etc. the survey companies have passed your email address onto. No doubt 'Cottages4you' will be adding me back onto their mailing list. Think I must have unsubscribed at least 4 times from them.

Has the florists moved to what was Making Music?

I had the same problem Keith until I realized you have to zoom in (double click) on some of the maps to get more detailed info/names displayed.

Tony - I think I can remember the farm you are on about, especially the fruit trees. Unfortunately can't remember any names but I seem to recall the people in the farm/house were the grand parents of a female member of this site. I joined the site in May 2013 so it wasn't that long ago but I can't remember any other details. Getting back to the topic - Rhubarb - yes I remember been told to pick a stick out of our garden and go and play. Me dad grew it in the ground, inside a metal bucket with the bottom cut out to stop the plant spreading. But to think that we survived the threat of no more imported rhubarb, from China, and 90% of the worlds winter rhubarb is forced to grow in the Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle. Queen Victoria did not tell her subjects that the Chinese were to retaliate us causing the Opium war, by stopping the rhubarb export to us and we would be in danger of mass constipation and death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBF40bQCd_4 Unlike the rest of you, I STILL HATE RHUBARB, even with loads of sugar.

Well Brian, must be 10 weeks since you ventured into quail - are they fed, grown, plucked and served in the finest restaurants?

There is a newspaper archive that's available via the library services but it's not something I have ever used. Archive boosts Northumberland libraries service · Jun 19, 2013 11:25 · By Evening Chronicle The British Newspaper Archive is now available at libraries across Northumberland More than six million pages from historic UK newspapers are now available at libraries across Northumberland. The British Newspaper Archive (BNA) is a free resource which allows customers to go as far back as 1741 with new articles, family notices, letters to the editor, obituaries and advertisements. It provides a great resource for school homework and research, and for people looking into their family and local history. Val Tyler, Northumberland County Council's policy board member for community infrastructure and culture, said: "This is a fantastic addition to our libraries. As a council we are working hard to develop services that people love.†The BNA was developed in partnership with the British Library and publisher Bright Solid, and has seen millions of pages scanned and digitised.
