  2. A new member on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group has asked :- Mikki Lee Townley 30 October at 13:13 · I've have searched the group and seen the maps on the new area my research has taken me which is Bank Cottage, East End, Bedlington.

  15. @Lorna - Joe hasn't visited this since he posted the above comment.😟 If you don't hear from anyone then I still have the email, containing all the info + photos embedded into a Microsoft Word document, that John Dawson posted on this site, that I sent to Joe and I could forward that email on to you. If you want me to do that then it's better if you send me a personal message, with your email address in it, rather than add your email address into one of these comments that the 'whole world' can see. If you select the white envelope, top right of screen, you will be invited to 'Compose New' message.
