    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🙂

    @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?

  22. 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🙁
  23. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

  24. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    I wonder if @Rigger can help. He raised a topic on Sunnyside whilst he was searching Family Tree stuff :-
  25. Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
    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
