    Millne Department Store - Market Place
    @Canny lass - Can't remeber a cafe in Millne's but there again I never spent teen years at the Market Place/Top End - all spent at the Station where you could get a cup of frothy milky coffee in the early 1960's - Moscadinni's. @lilbill15 - can't remember the name of the Fish & Chip shop at the Market Place - no name on this photo from the @johndawsonjune1955 collection :-

    Was that Baccis' coffe shop/bar (a few doors to the left away from Millne's) you are talking about?

    Feasters - Front Street East
    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☺️

    Is this Front Street East @Andy Millne? I can't remember ever seeing a photo of any part of the Front Street with such a high step(s) up to the pavement🙂

    Old Colliery Row 1897 OS (2).png
    @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 :-

    @Canny lass - @Ovalteeny - @HIGH PIT WILMA was this the only mosaic of St Cuthbert or was there a larger one that all the pupils had tom pay for one of the tiles and they had there name inscribed on the back of the tile they had paid for?

  23. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    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🙁
