    A heartfelt thank you to foxy for allowing me to download and keep a couple of his photos of past times, which has supplied me with an illustrated memory of my childhood - a part I hold very dear, and one that had proved difficult to find an image of. Your kindness is much appreciated.

    As a kid I often cycled from Cowpen to Bedlington, various routes. often the A193 along Horton Road and down the hairpin.. Another route I used was via Bebside Furnace Road & that short but steep hairpin. and also when the Spine Road first opened and it was pretty much empty, I'd cycle along that. Doing the hairpins on a single-speed Raleigh got me fit.. Glad your grandchild is ok!

    Brought up in the area but have lived away for many years. Where I am now (down south) it's a gloriously sunny morning. It's the kind of day where, back in my childhood, Humford Woods would be on the agenda (or a trip to Morpeth). I can remember trips to the open-air baths in Humford Woods (water was always freezing) and then in later years, seeing it disused. Is there any remaining sign that the open-air baths existed?

    The stepping stones at Morpeth, autumn 1965
    As a child, a day out to Morpeth, to walk along the riverside and play on the stepping stones was a treat back then! If we were lucky, mam and dad would take us for a spell in a rowing boat.
