    @Symptoms - I don't have any images but I'm told the road across the railway lines at Bedlington Station is closed whilst they demolish the buildings. The residents in Melrose Court have been told that work is soon to start on the building of an engine maintenance shed and a fence is to be erected between the road into Melrose Court and the railway line.

    Thanks @James I have got that one but never really read through it - just flicked through when I first got it and though that should come in handy one day and filed it away from the other Evan Martin books I have - pity I hadn't take much notice of it - I've now moved it in among the other Evan Martin books and I'll have a full read one day. I'll still forget most of the content and will still have to flick through it, and the others, when I get asked for info on old Bedlington

    Update to the names from the list posted in Evan Martin's book 'Bedlingtonshire Now And Then'.

    Cheers @James - I had not remembered that photo so I had a scan through the Evan Martin books I have and I see the photo is in the book 'The People's History Bedlingtonshire Remembered' page 109 but the text with that photo says '............ Edwin Brady must have been successful has he had a shop down the Front Street and this one on Glebe Road........' Which of the Evan Martin's books is your photo from?

    @HIGH PIT WILMA as I never really passed those shops as I was an lad from The Oval in the 50's and 60's I did some searching and asked a couple of questions on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group. Unfortunately can't find a photo of Fullarton's, just photos of what it was before and after. These are some of the comments plus a compilation photo of Now and Then and one image that might have Fullarton's in but it's two far away to make out the name on the shop Bit larger comp of the shop :- Comments on Fullarton's :- Again can't find an image of Adamson's with the name above the shop but this one from Marian Bullivant, c1960, shows the St Bede's May parade going past the shop :- Ans some comments on Anderson's :-

    The simple reply is - Na. I've had a search on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington and Fullerton's gets a mention but nobody says what part of Glebe Road or Burdon Terrace it was on

    @James & @HIGH PIT WILMA - still haven't heard anything back from @johndawsonjune1955

    On the Blyth Remembered & Memories Facebook group I came across some Bates Colliery photos and info posted by an ex member, Bill Riley, of that Facebook group. These are the photos and the info posted by Bill Riley, plus a few comments from other members of the Facebook group :-

    Unfortunately @HIGH PIT WILMA I can't contact Bill Riley - he's no longer on the Blyth group and I also checked the Friends Of Bates Colliery Facebook group but he has never been a member of that group. Fortunately @James has sorted it so you can click on the link he supplied and read away Bill Riley did post some other photos of Bates pit and I will post them for you. Do you think I should add Bill's photos to your album in the Gallery?
