Feasters - Front Street East
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) commented on Andy Millne's gallery image in Historic Bedlington
Old postcard of Front Street east and I think I have the shops named in the order they would have been when Millen's was about but those names may not have been present when this photo was taken. I know there are some who can date postcards from the(s) printed on the postcard. This one has G 3211 but I can't date it☺️ -

@James I was looking through Evan Martin's book - The Archive Photographs Series, Bedlingtonshire - and there is this photo of Pit Row. I know you have mentioned you are looking for a photo of Bell's Place. Not a full shot of any of the houses but would that be Bell's Place on the right of this photo :- -

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🙂
