Instruments. It wasn't there very long as far as I can remember. They sold all sorts including piano's , drums, guitars as well as sheet music. I can't remember if it was before or after the Motorbike shop (after I think) It was the shop on the opposite corner to Denis's. (what was the co-op)

Keith lives at Kitty Brewster and Dave has that big house at what was Wades. Dave had the shop down there for while as well as the mobile green grocers.

Arthur Routledge was the butcher at the oval for many years 150% certain. He was our butcher and a family friend. Don and Jean Lynn were both also family friends. Don was a particularly close friend of my dads. Authur Routledge would often deliver the meat himself and continued to do so after my dad died, making sure my mother was ok. When he retired My mother then used Bobby Cowell at the station, we still do.

Isn't it funny how a slight spelling error can completely change the meaning of something. ------ "A certain female SAINTary product " could it be that you were promoting pink halo's Merc . What would be the age to be attained for something like that then , 70,? 80? ((((( note to oneself watch your spelling from now on, Merc is watching to get his own back )))))

There was the motorbike shop and the music shop at the end of the first row. Arthur Routledge was a one time butcher as well (after Wakes) Everybody is also forgetting the Drs. Surgery sandwiched between the shops and the houses in the 3rd pic. Drs Ivory and Brown before they legged it to Guidepost.

Tried to put the link on but it didnt work . Big Geordie was built in America. It seems the base was built at Bedlington.

Nah, Big Geordie was never at Bedlington,could you imagine the cost moving it from Bedlington to the Butterwell opencast.!! I can remember when it was moved to another part of Butterwell, to down beside the Junction pub from Stobswood , I think. They had to take it through Widdrington Station on public roads because there was some reason that they could not use the Haul roads. They had to prep Widdrington Station level crossing, it still wrecked it and there was panic to get it fixed with it being the London - Edinburgh line.

Keith Scantlebury replied to Malcolm Robinson's topic in Talk of the Town
I agree Paul, people look back with fond memories of the pits. They are part of our heritage and have played a huge part in shaping the communities, they're gone, full stop,period. Nothing lasts forever. Bedlington is a much cleaner, prettier place without them. I for one would not like to return to the days when the skyline was dominated by a mountain of pit waste and there was a taste of soot and sulphur in the air, the gold old days weren't as rosy as people painted them. As they say " Nostalgia is not what it used to be " -
Thats Brilliant Brett.

Methinks it may be a bit close to Newcastle airport to be up there dangling in a tub below a 3 story bag of wind
