I want to give notice that I'm resigning as secretary of the Bedlington Origami Club - there's just too much paperwork. I have this recurring nightmare that I'm locked inside a supermarket and can't get out. This has been going on since I was lidl. Breaking news, the Liverpool manager has resigned, he's taking his family back to Germany. The Klopps went back this weekend.

Never seen any comments to say anyone who lives in the area attended. I wonder if @Malcolm Robinson has any www links he could post to online sites that hold any info Did a search via Google and the only site I found that would appear to have info on the what might be happening is via the Northumberland Gazette :- https://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/business/public-urged-to-attend-drop-in-sessions-about-development-of-bedlington-town-centre-3885994 I see on that site you can sign up for a 'Daily Newsletter' :-

I have searched over the las two days for a leaflet/pamphlet that was produced a few years back that gave info on the local places of interest. You used to be able to pick up a copy from the Community Centre but I can't get into the web site that they used to use - just their Facebook page but can't find anything about the leaflet/pamphlet on that site. It wasn't a document you would want to print off on a small home printer/scanner, unless you have a couple of cartridges to waste but it was handy as an online (pdf) document to get info on places in the town (blue plaque buildings included) to visit. I know @johndawsonjune1955 and possibly @Malcolm Robinson, @John Fox (foxy) and @Andy Millne were involved in it's production. Has anyone got the document to upload for @allan mills to see?

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.

@Anne Gilbert within the gallery section Bandsman1966 posted a group of photos of the Netherton Colliery Bands. Can't remember him posting any of the High School from 1979 onwards - but I could be wrong. If you select the 'Gallery' tag along the top of the page you will get the Gallery sections. One of them is 'Historical Bedlington' and in that section are the Netherton Colliery band album, by Bandsman1966, and there is also an album for all the past and present Bedlington schools. Unfortunately there aren't many photos in the Bedlingtonshire Community High School album. This is a direct link to the school album :-@Anne Gilbert - Bandsman1966 has added some good info and photos within this group but it has been a while since he lasted logged into the site. if you hover over a members name tag with any post they have made the system shows part of the profile of that member and shows the date that person last logged in :-

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.
