Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Richard Norton a couple of different photos to what @Canny lass has posted for you plus an entry in the 1905 Bennett's Business Directory that was posted on the Facebook local group 'Past Time History Group' by @johndawsonjune1955 showing the the same name and profession that CannyLass found in the Kelly's Directory 0f 1914. In a book on Bedlington 'Then and Now' published by Evan Martin in 2005 there is an image showing the shop @Canny lass identified above on the back page but iunfortunately can't make out the name of the shop :- Inside Evan's book is the Then photo with some info but 'Hub' doesn't get a mention just that it's an early 20thc photo :- The latest Google street view image is 2023 and it looks like the original building, with the roof restructured was still there :- There is another photo of the area and it was originally posted with the comment 'early 20th centuary' but again the name on the shop can't be read :- This photo shows the shop more clearly but it's a 1930's or 40's photo and the name on the shop is STOKER :-

Welcome to the group @Richard Norton. Just noticed your posting - don't know how I missed. Can't say I've seen the name Hub Butchers mentioned in the Market Place and I did a search of the Discussion pages using "Hub Butchers" but nothing came up. If you enter a phrase into the Search section add quotes around it otherwise the system searches for every seperate word in the phrase rather than just the whole phrase. I'll have a look through the old photos from that era, probably only a couple, and see if I can find anything but can't recall seeing that name.

Might it have been England and the Scotts stole it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis#:~:text=It is believed that food,considered traditionally of Scottish origin.

Would that men more Haggis - Neeps & Tatties

Welcome to the group @Jayson Lowery. The other two places that normally get a mention on this group and the Bygone Bedlington group (Facebook group) are Muggers Neuk or Salmon place but they were before your time amd may never have been mentioned by your family.

I have to admit @HIGH PIT WILMA that if anyone had of asked be about Sonia's I wouldn't of had a clue. I had to Google street view it on Clayton Street -

Then and Now (Malcolm's photos)

@terri can't recall any from the 1950's to 1970's when I was living in Bedlington. However my memory is fading --- slowly
