Bedlington's airey houses no longer exist. Built between the late 1940's and early 1950's. As far as I know there were only four streets of airey houses built in Bedlington. Waverley Drive - numbers 43 to 78 airey houses. Numbers 1 to 42 traditional red brick. Coquetdale Place. Tosson Close. Steadlane Square - numbers 1 to 14 and numbers 27 & 28. Numbers 15 to 26 traditional red brick. The work to demolish the airey houses and rebuild in traditiol brick started c2009. -

@Andy Millne just wondering if the default setting for new members could be to receive a notification = email that a member has responded to any comment that new member has made. I have noticed there have been a number of cases where new members have made a comment and although a reply, follow up question etc. has been made by myself and other seasoned members there has been no response from the new member😞. Naturally if new members didn't want to be notified we could have a set of instructions, in the 'Introduce Yourself - Members Only' topic, so notifications could be cancelled. Eggy

Old Photos of Bedlington 2
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) commented on Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s gallery album in Historic Bedlington
Most of the time it's trying to find the right info for the old photos. Any member can add comments to each photo posted. In most of the albums the members can only comment on existing entries and only the member that created the album can add new entries. This album has been setup so that any member can add new photos as a separate entry. -
It might still end up at Blyth. I don't think they know there ar** from their elbow. This is the plan BritishVolt have online showing where the new battery/gigaplant is to be built - they say on the old Blyth (Cambois) Power Station site. From what I can make out the plan they have drawn is where Cambois pit and the pit rows used to be.

What is it like to live in Bedlington
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Margaret Patrick's topic in Chat Central
Unfortunately Margaret most of the members, like myself, that comment on this group no longer live on the town. We didn't leave the town because we didn't like it we simply discovered a new life elsewhere but joined this group to keep in touch with the town and the people we grew up with.☺️ Have you been checking on the size of the town, the population, the facilities, what's near by etc.? -
Pit Heap behind Beech Grove - Coffin Chapel on right
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) commented on James's gallery image in Historic Bedlington
The Pit Heap where both the Doctor Pit and the 'A' pit dumped their mining waste. This image isn't to scale but it shows the two pits and the area where they dumped the mining waste. This shows the Pit H from the other direction, Moorland Avenue, Bedlington Station. This one shows some of @John Fox (foxy)'s photos when they started to reduce/landscape the Pit Heap after part of Bower Grange, Bedlington Station had been built. Then and Now compilation. -
@JosephineFunderburk - do you mean you would like to contact Lewis Barker who posted the photo of the John D Dindall silver plate? If so then you would have so search Facebook, where the photo was posted and 'Shared' from and see how many Lewis barker's there are and see if you can identify the one that posted the photo. The only clue we have is that this Lewis Barker could live in Ashington - but nobody, that I am aware of, has searched for him.☺️

Yep - Simon posted it on the Bygone Bedlington group as 'Bedlington & Cheviots ( I added the text to his photo.) Simon is always taking photos of the town - he lives on Church Lane, across from St Cuthberts. You will have seen a couple of these before - compilation of just a few of Simon's photos that he has shared with the Bygone Bedlington members. The one in the middle was taken from outside the Red Lion - the green bus shelter on the left is the one on Front Street West at the Top End and the building underneath the tree on the right is the chemists on the corner opposite the Northumberland Arms and behind the trunk of the tree on the left is the Howard Arms.
