Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

I wonder who came up with the numbers :-

Posted on the Cambois Facebook group (30 mins ago) :-

But no idea of any history

Do you mean this one in the middle - Grenfells left - Hairdressers on the right. If so I can't remember anyone posting any info on that house🙁

Never been involved🙂 - it's held at the West Bedlington Community Centre :-

I wonder if @Rigger can help. He raised a topic on Sunnyside whilst he was searching Family Tree stuff :-

Can't help you there @lilbill15. All I know is what the Bygone Bedlington members posted on the Facebook group :- Plus the info posted on the Chronicle site :- Kathy was born in Bedlington , Northumberland, and first came to public attention as a continuity announcer for Tyne Tees. She went on to news programmes and hosted her own show, Kathy and Co, where her winning smile brought her thousands of fans. She had no training, not even voice coaching, but she proved a natural. She once said: “I was just a Bedlington lass but I have always spoken this way. “I went to school in Newcastle but when I was at home with my friends it was different. “Even now I can slip into the broad Bedlington dialect if I wanted to, but my mother would have a fit.” I can't remember her, born 3 years before me, around Bedlington I only remember the young twin Secker lads that played football for local teams. However - @pilgrim did post this comment back in 2016

@Symptoms - Malcolm started the previous post under the topic 'Freeport' in Talk of the Town section :- I see in the article you linked to they say the gigplant is at Blyth - Cambois doesn't get a mention🙂

👍 - hopefully you downloaded any images of the area that fit in with your family.

Never walked it. last time I would have been in that vicinity, 5 or 6 years ago, would be to have a meal, and a couple of beers, in The Forge Inn at Ulgham but that pub, only one in the village, is now closed🙁

Morning Vic - can't see any way around the problem when loading the system. I had a Google search and the Microsoft site seems to be the best way at finding a solution. Once upon a time I would attempt to recreate a problem as I found it was the best way to learn how to get out of it. These days I wouldn't dare as the operating systems etc. have changed so much and the new terminology (even though it is just replacing terms we used to use) is confusing. This is the address of the Microsoft site, that you may already have looked at :- https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/vista-user-profile-service-service-failed-the/48a4489e-a002-4e32-8a5c-a3577bcae587

Unfortunately not. I'm fortunate to have an old PC with Widows Vista where some old software - Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 - still works. A mate bought it many years ago (10 I think) and I think it was up to 3 users could register the software package so he gave me the discs to load on my PC and have a play. Once loaded I gave him the discs back after I had registered the product and that was it until about 5 or 6 years ago when I started to to clart with it and I have clarted ever since. Mobile phone software = no idea. My mobile is 2G with no access to the www. It's there for emergencies when I can't get to a landline. I have played with Photoshop software but it was £20 a month for two of the 8 (I think) packages so there was loads of options that I have now that were not available with the £20 a mount contract. My mind says Photoshop is Microsft Digital Pro 10 broken down into 8 options with each option costing you more. I remember adding up the cost of all the options and I think it was about £60 a month which would be ok for a commercial user that used it everyday and helped them make money but to me not an option for casual use.

Don't know of a way around that Vic - I'll have a think and see if I can find a way - don't hold your breath!! My first action tomorrow, when I load this old PC, will be to see if I can create a new user account + password etc. at the point when the system gives you the option to enter password or switch user account

Unfortunately the route from Netherton Colliery to Choppinton Station must be the only area (but there may be more) that this wandering Bedlington lad, (from The Oval and went to Barrington CP school 1953 to 1960) never wandered along. And in my youth I did wander and explore without wondering what my parents would be thinking as I was always late home from school or any other place I visited on a weekend. According to me mam I was, at the age of two and a bit, took a box of matches out of the house so I could stand it on end and try and climb over the gate into our house. I carried on wandering off for years. Good job there wasn't a Lock Down back then

Unfortunately @lilbill15 - I don't know how to get that Emoticon, along with many other oldies, when working on my Windows 10 Desktop PC On Windows 10 I assume I get the same set of Emoji's that you get but when working on my old Windows Vista Desktop PC I get the old Emoticons and not the Emoji set. I kept my old PC with Windows Vista as that is the machine I have the software that I use when 'clarting' with the photos.. The software I have, Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 (MDIP 10), for clarting is nearly as old as me and is no longer available and it can't be transferred to Windows 10 as it is not compatable I had a clart with the Adobe Photoshop= £20 per month to rent - and this old dog was not having these new tricks so I got out of the Photosshop contract after a couple of months So when I go, MDIP 10 & Windows Vista go with me

It will be approximately 18 months since I drove passed Station Terrace, Choppington, but I knew they had started building there as they prepared the land where the old Station House used to be and had started to build a new house. I don't know if it was the same builder that built the equestrian centre, or if it was part of a deal with the council ie yes you can build the equestrian centre as long as you build a house where the old Station House used to be, but Google street view (2020) shows the new house still under development. And you can see Station Terrace just passed the house.
