It was on the red button last week Brett. Surprised you had never heard of her, her father was an accomplished player himself and there was a documentary on them a few years ago. He was a regular at the Rothbury festival and I am pretty surehe was the Dukes piper as well.

Absolutely not,....... nah.......... never ......... no way will I drink in the Red Lion !!!

Hey Mathew. (karel ????? )

Well done

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)

The good money's on Aldi (niti)

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.

She's arround tonight.

I heard you liked being tied up

Now hey, I resemble that remark. I had to stay home and paint the lawn

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.
