Yes I noticed the fire engines on my way to work, hope it wasnt too badly damaged.

Cherrybee and cider at the Terrier. Strange that a lot of us got our first drink at the Terrier .

Thank you tonyg and threegee, its a shame more people in Bedlington don't know what wonderful historic buildings we have, and walk past them everyday not knowing what stories these buildings have to tell. I look forward to finding out more.

No one ever mentions the Lairds House, does anyone know when it was built and who for? Is it true the buildings nest to it including the post office were servants quarters, and the building at the back of the post office stables? Does anyone have any stories about it and the people who have lived there?

Got to have suger on a nanna sandwich, golden syrup on bread and butter. My favourite had to be crisp and pickled onion sandwiches. Don't think I could eat them now too many calories, and i think I'd probably be sick.

Ah Keith Oxo chipmunk crisps I loved them, strange how you can forget something then when your reminded the taste and smell comes back. When out for a walk last night my hubby and I could smell a coal fire, it brought back memories of toasting bread on the coal fire.

I was just wondering if anyone else on the site has had any problems, like the poor lady whose story was told in the NPL this week. I myself have just had an appeal turned down, I went to a local shop to have my parking ticket photocopied and was told by the owner they have had loads of people in using the photocopier for the same reason, one gentleman had'nt even parked but had been driving around looking for a space. Its really frustrating and worrying, I have heard no one wins an appeal.

Does anyone know whats happening with the old Lairds House, I parked at the back yesterday and thought it looked like someone was living there?

It was the back wall of an old barn or warehouse that was where they found the two swords, there was a bakery there as well many years ago, as told to me by the daughter of Robsons who had the paper shop, they owned the old buildings. Thompson Stores was next to Robsons. The pizza shop was the butchers.
