    In History Hollow 'Reedy' posted - 'List Of Pubs And Clubs -Bedlington District' From that list I extracted the establishments within Bedlington and along with a list of list of pubs in 1886 from one of Evan Martin's books on Bedlingtonshire I, assisted by members on the Bedlington Remembered & Bygone Bedlington Facebook sites, attempted to find evidence of the listed establishments. This was not a delv into historic documents etc., just a www search combined with some 2009 Google Street View images.

    Can't help you with the answer to that question @Katherine Hyde. As far as I can see the couple of photos that are in the Gallery section under Historic Bedlington and in the Album 'Old Photos of Bedlington 2' are the only ones we have are Haig road and they are of VE Day, 1945 and still showing the roofs as they were when the houses were built.

    https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/stories/the-founding-of-rbl @Katherine Hyde - if you 'click/select' the link above ( it should be light blue in colour) then it should take you to the RBL site where you can read the full article.

    That's right @Katherine Hyde. The name 'Mill Bank' and 'Mill Bank road' appear on many late 19thc and early 20thc maps but I don't think I have ever stumbled across anyone explaining exactly what the Mill Bank area was about (to me). The council houses, Millbank Place, were built (just like half of the council estates in Bedlington) after WW2. Our family moved into our council house, Coquetdale Place, in 1949 whilst they were still building the estate. I had a look at the old maps that are available for 1921. Two show the area where Haig and Beatty road are as clear :- The 1896 map also has Mill Bank named :- But then a 'Revised' 1921 map shows Alfred Road, Rosalind Avenue, Haig Road and Beatty Road but is does show them as blank sections suggesting they are under construction :- Then the 1937 map shows as the semi-detached houses :- This is the two 1921 maps joined together :-

    Welcome to the group @Terry Dixon The housing area around Bolam Place won't have changed since 1977. Although I haven't lived in Bedlington since the mid 1970's i can remember some names from Bolam place as they were the lads I knocked around with in the 1960's - Dixon - Lightley - Trench & Thompson. Those families all lived in the houses that faced the green looking towards Waverley Avenue :-
