@Andy Millne, hello, Sir, having digressed, as usual, through several topics is it possible to introduce this subject of Doctors Yard in it’s own right? Thank you x Looking at the handwritten record re Peas Bush - I would read that record as Pu…? , no wonder the name has changed over the years!? Maybe history isn’t such a mystery but just a slip of the pen? x

😁xx

@Canny lass, many thanks x: interesting that the police/coroner/doctor and nurse all sited together-one fell swoop. P.S. an afterthought- so ironically has become an undertaker! All of life and death?! X

Aha! @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) I’m very slow on to the uptake but getting there eventually 😁x. Moving away from Sunnyside to look at Doctors yard on behalf of Josephine- I think she’ll eventually get stuck into this group- slow, like me x

And thank you x

@Canny lass, brilliant, thank you very much xx, there’s loads of information in this document , just what I’ve been looking for but not knowing of it’s existence. This should stop me asking too many daft questions. I’m very grateful xx

@Canny lass Hahaha! x Surprisingly I haven’t read that yet, but will do so with great relish , thank you very much x

Oh, that’s very interesting- certainly food for thought, thank you x seeing the word ‘Bois’ in the midst of your response took me instantly to Cambois (with an e at the end on one old map I’ve seen) I have occasionally heard folk pronounce it Camwah, sometimes joking but the most recent was a couple of cyclists with a map open who asked me the name of the locale and they expressed surprise when I said ‘Camus’ and not Camwah but they were relieved to know where they were in relation to their map. I’ve long wondered where the name Cambois came from, suspected a french link. That’s by the bye, I’ll be scouring modern maps for any reference to puce/pease currently: not allowed any more emojis today, suffice to say thanks again for more brain fodder x

@Canny lassI visited Sweden once, stayed at Vastervik on a fishing trip with Dad; loved the place and folks we met x

Like AND thanks emoji applied, many thanks @Canny lass, also picked up info re Bedlington historical group from Eggy and have emailed John Riley about that so tiny steps being made in building information about Bedlington and how to increase knowledge of the area. I’ll follow up on the library (if it’s reopened yet), and tekaluk at tablets. Thank you very much xx

Yup, that’s the one, @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)absolutely bang on the nail, as usual x.

P.S. I’ll bet mr. Edgar is in the thick of it 😀xx

Oh, thank you @Rigger, I’ll follow up on this, very grateful, thanks again xx

Aha! So, instead of Googling I should be finding the local interest groups and doing name/place searches- Sunnyside figures quite large within the Bedlington/Choppington/Bar’ton pond🤗x

😩😱🤣🤣🤣x

No @Canny lass, just checked Arriva bus route, only Swan Choppington indicated. However, I am aware of loads of old areas/farms etc being incorporated into street/estate names: and you have quoted examples of the evolution of place names over time- “ nothing stays the same “, or even “things change “. x

@Canny lass, I desperately need an AHA! emoji, you’re better than Poirot/Marple at investigation and production of evidence! If I did invest in a tablet I’m presuming I would need a printer as well in order to comfortably compare/overlay maps? Btw, are you still within UK or much further afield? X

Most grateful, thank you x

None of the emojis on this site is relevant; jaw-dropping gob-smacked etc. I MUST have seen a map from sometime previously which identified Sunnyside. I was born 1957, didn’t arrive in Bedlington until ??63- , BUT, my earlier question about Cathy Secker is relevant because my late Dad pointed out a house at Choppington one day when we were driving past, I understood he knew and had met her professionally (she was already ‘on the up’), and I’m now wondering if he might have instilled in me the Sunnyside street name??

Ooh, @Canny lass, I’m so disappointed! I had hopes of getting to see your maps, picking your brains. To find you’re no longer local is a great disappointment. Forbye, the last map showing Sunnyside, d’you have a date for that, please? I’ve found nothing current for Northumberland showing that address, I’m totally confused x

Ooh, @Canny lass. @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948), this is just sooo spooky! I have no idea why/where I got the Sunnyside reference from, I don’t know the area and I can only think I must have seen a map somewhere but I’m completely bemused. Thank you so much @Canny lassfor persevering, not just writing it off as addled brain, but I am more than flabbergasted to learn that Sunnyside DID exist, and adjacent to my area of enquiry. Your latest map is the most relevant yet, I’m VERY grateful, thank you very much xx
