Hi Alan definitely early 70s to mid 70s I was paper lad there from 73 to 75 & they were always heavy on Saturday morning & Thursday evening when you got the blyth news which wasn't free then I believe it's free now

Hi CL yeah he was a nice guy joe, when I left school I went to merchant navy aswell on the start of my adventures in life when I was on leave always had a chat with him in there cafe if he was on leave really nice guy I think tommy bought the place off Clarence Cooper if I remember right.But not sure

I'm curious to know what happened to these people, Gordon Adamson had the papershop near the Northumberland arms pub. It was the only place that sold Bedlington terrier souvenir plates cups etc, I used to work for him as a paper boy in the mid seventies my round was the hollymount round £1.80 for the morning round 60p for the evening round new what every house got delivered without looking at my list lol. Tommy miller ran bingo hall opposite the black bull pub he's wife was called violent I think, he had a son called Joesph he went into the merchant navy as a radio officer.As I say just wandering what happened to them & there businesses

Hi Vic sorry to hear of your loss for you & your family

Another one remember going for walks with my mum or dad,it seemed like miles looking back now it wasn't. But I remember saying how long to go now? "Just around the corner they replied." Long bloody corners lol

I remember been told by other kids not to go in the farmers field or he'll shoot you, I actually believed this for years happy days

Hi Alan don't think anybody could understand Marc Bolans lyrics none of it made sense really but he's music was good at the time. I think everybody had different interpretations of what he's lyrics were about,God knows!! I do love this forum how it's changed from Chinese takaways in Bedlington to T.Rex 😂Hope symptoms doesn't come to this discussion with roast potatoes 🥔 in oil or council Robinson questioning my excessive use of full stops .........

Could be worse your missus could be called Deborah & likes one inch rock & is a jeepster for your hot love 😂😜

Brilliant concert shame he died so young lots more to offer I believe he was so creative

Definitely same concert bedlingtonian when he jumped off the star he sang whatever happened to a teenage dream brilliant concert I do believe T.Rex were the first group to perform At Glastonbury but I probably will get proved Wrong happy days

Me mother was brought up in Hirst terrace during the war, I think one of the last people to leave Hirst terrace prior to demolition was a Scottish builder called Ian Milne he had 3 lasses the oldest was called Linda I remember she came with my mother & my brother + me to see T.Rex at the City hall in the early seventies I think one of he's last tours before he died. Anyway Linda had to younger sisters & Ian's wife was called Shirley. A Guide post lass I think

meant suey

Chinese takaway was. Definitely at the bottom of Hirst terrace at the entrance of welfare park I used to get chips & gravy & chop suet roll on a Saturday afternoon usually lol

I was having a discussion with my brother about this! I said to him the first Chinese takeaway in Bedlington was the one at the bottom of Hirst terrace which doesn't exist now it must of been there 50 years ago first experience of fried banana 🍌 in batter 😂

Hi Symptoms long time since we've spoke hope your potatoes still cooking well in your spoon of oil🤔 I'm living in the land of Viktor Orban, don't think my mate mr Lavery would be impressed with that. Anyway remember the Howard arms was a Vaux pub Lorimers scotch on offer there rank the Sun & The Monkey were Cameron's Hartlepool brewer didn't like there strongarm & when Betty Stewart had the Northumberland arms it was a whitbread house unusual for a pub in Northumberland I believe but the worst beer in my opinion was Newcastle Amber ale it tasted like rats p*** anyway symptoms nice to see your about

Cheers Alan wasn't sure
