  1. We will have to give it some thought. As far as I know there are graves + headstones in West Lea - St Cuthbert's and St John's . Not sure if St Bede' s had a separate graveyard but I know it now uses West Lea. I don't know of any others, in Bedlington. I will leave creating album(s) until next Monday and hopefully go for the best solution based on everyone's thoughts and ideas😊
  2. Does anyone know anything about the Glove factory before it switched premises to the old institute at Barrington. Does anyone have a photo of it or as it was in it's previous life on the North side of the river Blyth when it was the Infectious Disease hospital next to the old staithes? This image from an old map posted by @Jamesin 2018

  12. Bedlington Methodist Football Club 1928-29 season. Photo, info and names from George Railton. One of George's comments was :- 'I also went to Sunday School there and I recognise the old stonework and railings of the Old Hall behind the team'.
  13. Maggie - Eileen Harland is not a member of this group. She is on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group. I did post a comment to her on the Facebook group, where she posted the mag, but she has not replied yet. If you want you could send me a message, with your address, on this group and I will send a private message = Messenger, on Facebook to Eileen.🙂
  14. Photo from a relative of @John Fox (foxy). On the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group George Railton named number 15 as his dad. On the back of another photo of George's it has 'Netherton Old Boys........ 1950' written and it is believed they played Friendly/Charity matches on a Good Friday. From the info we have derived that this photo is c1949.

  16. @Maggie/915 if I could, I would pick up and deliver the magazine to the committee but unfortunately I can't🙁 I will pass on your message to Eileen and see if she will deliver the magazine, either to Saturday's outdoor meeting or deliver it to the Community Center and leave it with someone to be passed on to the History Society.🙂
  17. Stacey Price shared an event.

  19. @Maggie/915 - would the History Society be interested in this parish Magazine - Eileen, who gave the magazine to Keith to scan and post has been in touch with me and said she would like to pass the magazine on to the society. I created an album in Historic Bedlington for the magazine :-
  20. I'll have to download all of series 'G' and see if I missed it🤷‍♂️
  21. Thank you CL but no need. I have avoided celebrating that one day of each year as I am not a birthday person😊 This year the family have finally taken notice of my response - I don't want anything = material value that gets put in a cupboard, or garage, for a few years and then goes to a charity shop - I have everything I need🙂 This year everyone got me bottles of stout🤗, many I have never tasted before😇. So at the rate of one bottle per week, Friday evenings, they should last me months👍 I think everyone should celebrate every day they wake up, I do👌
