Cheers @Ovalteeny . I did email Frances Povey, a couple od days ago, attaching the message that John Krzyzanowski had posted in response to Rebecca Wilkzek request and I added into the email a direct link to the football albums you have created within this group and I added :- ' I am no historian or have access written historical data ..............'. I was expecting NCC to get someone to have a look and possibly ask questions. However this is the reply I got back today :- I will add her response to the posting on Bygone Bedlington and see if John Krzyznowski can point her in the right direction within the Northumberland Archies at Woodhorn.

@QVC - on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group the following post was shared. Would any info that your hobby- '........................... tracking the history of amateur football clubs in the North East......' have thrown up any info or photos on the history of the Dr Pit Welfare Park be of use to Frances Povey?

It would appear the Admin, or one of the Moderators, were not happy with my posting on the Past Times History Facebook group - my post has been deleted

Cheers @Malcolm Robinson

@Malcolm Robinson - did you put together any info on the history of the park? Yesterday this was posted on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group :- I have posted the above screen shot on the Facebook group - Past Times History and asked the admin = @johndawsonjune1955 if he has any info.

@Ann Dobson a couple of comments posted by Colin Douglas on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook question that I posted on your research into Douglass House :-

My mistake @Colin Douglas - sorry about that

@Ann Dobson are you a member of the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group? Colin is a member of that group but he isn't a member of this one.

@Ann Dobson - see this reply, from Colin Douglas, to my general question about Douglass House on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington

@Ann Dobson - did you manage to 'Message' Canny lass with the info for her to check on the census records?

I was just making sure you were reasonably local so if I did find anything out you would understand the area I was talking about. I've asked on the Facebook group, Bygone Bedlington, if anyone has heard of Douglass House, Netherton Lane but as yet no one has said they have. When you look at the old maps there are no streets of houses on Netherton Lane on the 1921 map. The 1938 map shows the outline of a street and I assume that has to be Ridge Villas that are still there today. The Ridge Villas houses are not council houses so I suppose it s possible that these 'private' houses had names but the 1938 map suggests, as they are not filled in with diagonal lines, they were unoccupied in 1938. This is the 1938 map next to the current Google maps aerial view :- If there are any comments worth passing on from the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group I will update you.

@Ann Dobson - the name - Douglass House - does not ring any bells with me. I will ask around. Are you from the Bedlington, or surrounding area?

Welcome to the group @Lynn. @anniemarr who started this topic in 2019 hasn't logged back into the group since her last comment above on June 4th 2020. If a member registers to receive notifications if any member comments on their posts they will be notified via an email. I don't know if 'anniemar' has registered but I have attempted to notify her by preceding her login Id with an ampersand and that triggers off a notification.
