On the Bygone Bedlington group Michael Myers posted an old map that names the 3 sets of buildings, + the house/flat numbers, so the info I have on Foxy's photo needs updating. This is an extract of the map :-

On the FB group Bygone Bedlington a member, Janet Guest, has asked - I have never heard of Burdon's Buildings but I did remember a photo @John Fox (foxy) had posted of the area and someone named Smith's & Marshall's Buildings just past the Dun Cow - see reply to Janet Guest above. I've marked, with a yellow star, where I think the Dun Cow was and then added a red blotch along where I think the buildings in question were. I know at the Top End of Bedlington along from the Wharton Arms is Burdon Terrace but never heard Burdon Building's mentioned before. Has anyone on this site heard of Burdon's Buildings? I knoe the Burdon family were involved in many thinks within Bedlington eg St Cuthbert's Church but I have never heard of Burdon's Buildings

Morning Vic. Yes I blame Trump for all the hot air that flows up North every time he opens his mouth😁. My wife would quite happily move fro the NE to the South coast of the UK - I want to say in the NE where it is 10+ degrees cooler. The kids were here yesterday wearing shorts and T-shirts but when the wife popped out to see one daughter just a 150 yards away from us she had her jacket on and said she wwas cold 😱. We have one grandson who joined the Fire Service two years ago and he says the North are sendiing a couple of teams down South to help out with the wild fires and there are plenty of warnings around the NE but nothing serious happening.🤞 The BBC news have reported on Trump and his 'smoke tarrif' threat on Canada, followed by Mark Carney speach telling him Canada is doing it's best. Although the UK is cooler the the mediteranian countries the BBC have still reported that down South in the UK they will be having their fith heat waive of the year. Hopefully next year thousands of Brits may saty at home for their summer holidays - but then the travel industry will complain they don't have enought business ansd start laying staff off and upping their prices. I enjoyed gowing up in the 50s & 60's and playing outside, every day, in what ever weather. All the best Vic.
