    Sorry @Malcolm Robinson - I switched off after 30mins. I hope you got a tea break. I see there have been over 2,000 views of the Youtube video. Is that normal or just because it was an Extraordinary meeting of full council ?

    I have been contacted by @Keith Scantlebury asking if I could help John Batey who is looking into two heritage projects for East Bedlington Parish Council. I have Googled 'NCC Heritage Projects' and found this :- http://www.ca-north.org.uk/empowering-organisations/village-halls-community-buildings/village-halls-heritage-project Keith passed on my email address to John Batey and I received this email :- Subject: History Hello Alan, Keith Scantlebury has given me your email address. East Bedlington Parish Council is launching two large scale Heritage Projects - one based on the building which houses the Community Centre, and one based on the 1821 waggon way from Willow Bridge to the River Blyth. Would you like to be involved ? Best wishes, John Batey ---------------------------------------------------- I don't have any documented facts on the Bedlington Station Community Centre or the 1821 Wagon Way. Does anyone in this group have any documentations that might help the project? If anyone wants to pass anything to John Batey then please let me know and I will give you his email address. Eggy

    Thanks Karen. Although Gooogle Street view doesn't go up to and past The Foresters Arms (and I never got past The Foresters) the Google aerial view shows what I would say used to be St Peters - based on the semi circle block paving at the front of the building and a 1921 map.

    I'm definitely wrong CL - I should have spotted that the church image I checked was all brickwork but I just though West Sleekburn would only have had one church. - I'll blame Foxy. Does St peters still exist? I can only find Church lane in West Sleekburn - no church.

    @Anne Gilbert @Maggie/915 might be able to tell you. If not then the Bedlington History group should. I believe it was through the History Society that this album was created.

    I suppose most families could have had, or borrowed a bike.
