    Thanks Cl - I could see there were only three names next to the 4 rows but just assumed one hadn't been named. Now I now there were two rows of Second Street - but will I remember that the next time the Netherton Colliery streets are discussed

    @allan mills - I would expect on your visit to Netherton/Bedlington in March next year you will be having a look at the area via Google Maps. Just to show you where Second Street was in Netherton Colliery and how close Netherton Colliery was to the village of Netherton and the town of Bedlington in 1920 I have put together a 1921 map extract with a 2022 Google aerial view of the area. The village of Netherton changed it's name to Nedderton as there is another Northumberland village called Netherton and in the early half of the 20th century the Post Office requested the change. This is the extract from the 1921 ordnance survey map showing the 4 rows of house, First, Second, Plessey & Third Street just above the name Netherton Colliery and Netherton village :- This is the Google Maps 2022 view of the area :- And this is the 2022 view with the 1921 map added and a few places marked with a start = 'then & now' :- Have you had a look at the albums in the Gallery under Historic Bedlington ?

    Welcome to the group @allan mills. Have you checked the Gallery section? There are a couple of photo albums on Netherton Colliery in the 'Historic Bedlington' section of the gallery. This is a direct link to the album created by @Carole (last visited the group in 2018) :- And this is a direct link to an album I created but they are all photos supplied by others (I never lived at Netherton Colliery) :- I will try and answer any questions you have and I am sure @Canny lass will give you some info.

    @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'.
  22. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    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?
  23. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    @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
