Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Pegwoman - forgot to say - I have no idea what the letters 7 numbers at the bottom would stand for. Not sure what the first leteer is - ?. F.S.B. 376.

@Pegwoman I don't know anyone who has one but I have seen similar discussed on the Ashington Memories Facebook group. There were a few suggestions but most of the comments, by grandchildren, of those who had them seem to think that theywere worn by many in the areas where the coal mines were during WWII as the workers and family in the mining areas as those areas were likely to be targeted by the enemy. The most detailed attempt to guess was One comment suggested that the Woodhorn Museum might have the answer -

Checked on the Facebook Group Bygone Bedlington and the only info I can get is that the photo is pre 1970 :-

No date with the photo. Normally I have the info ie year and who posted it as part of the name the photo is saved under. So in this case I would assume the member of the group I got if from did not comment with any info other than the name.😒

Cheers Mikki. That is a site I have never visited before. I know some of the houses were there in 1923 as my mother lived there in 1923 wheh her younger sister was born therre in 1923. My grandparents kept a family bible and in it are the year and each of the 9 children were born - my mam, born 1920, and her brother Martin, born 1921, are shown as Carrs Buildings, on the Glebe Bank and the next 7, starting with the next eldest, Jane, born in 1923, all listed as Haig Road. I'll have a did around on that site. I did notice when I searched for the Cornwell Crescent photo you mentioned -

mikki - I just go off the old maps - @Canny lass does the census records. The old photos of Glebe Road and Shiney Row are ones from books on Bedlington by Evan Martin and his father Stephen B Martin that liived in Bedlington. This is the 1920 (20") map I have marked to show the area in question This compilation that we did when we were looking for info on all the drinking establishments in Bedlington shows the Tankerville Arms :- but I can't identify that building in the photo of the Glebe Road from the Evan Martin book :- @Canny lass will know more the me.

@mike white there haven't been anymore replies iro the fire on the Bygone Bedlington FB group😞

Kayla = as far as I can remember I can't recall anyone mentioning who the hut/shedl belonged to. There is a posting of No1 Shiney Row was on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington and the hut/shed never got a mention. The photo and comment on thr FB group was in 2022 by Florence Palmer :- @Canny lass - can you remember anything about that hut/shed adjoing No1 Shiney Row?🤞

me to☺️

Not you Vic. The site hs been upgraded and there are differences in the way the system is displaying what we were used to. I have found the main menus very similar to the past set up but the Gallery images are displayed slightly different and I am still working my way around to see if I can notice if anything has been dropped😱. It wll take me awhile and then I will probably forget what I was looking for🤷‍♂️. Back in the 1960 to 90s everything took about 10 years to change. Now it's far to frequent for us oldies. We need the great grandkids to keep us right. We even have to scrawl through multiple sets of emojis and icons to get to the ones we prefer

it's a 'Private' FB group so you would have to join to see the postings. Try this linl :- https://www.facebook.com/groups/BygoneBedlington

Another couple of comments :-

@mike white I screen shot your initial comment and posted it on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook goup. No replies yet about the cause of the fire. One member made a comment and I supect from it (and I had a look at his prorfile = retired Fireman) the he knew you :-

No info Mike but this is the John Fox photo that he posted :- It would be difficult for you to tell if you in this photo as they are all wearing the same outfit.

@Danielle Waldock - I sent John a message on FB Messenger iro your posting and he has acknowledged my message.
