Would that have been Gerry Dixon who joined the Merchant Navy, along with Robin Hills, in the mid to late 1960's?

We always referred to Mary Miller as 'Little Mary' and I though she lived in Waverley Avenue - about No 20/21 across the road from Bolam Place.

Yes jerry dixon is my uncle and lenny (billy) was my dad he died 2 years ago..my grandmother was ellen and grandad was also lenny..and yes mary lived across the field.

Wonder what year they done away with the pointed roof above the windows?

Hi all..ive just had confirmation off bernicia that beatty haig and cornwell built in 1922 and millbank place was early 1949. Cornwell crescent flats was 1956.

My mam remembers you....she said same beatty looked better with the trees...i was born in the 80s so before my time. My hubby remembers your family..jinny sonny and mary... he is norma currie's son they lived 33...its a small world

@Tonyp - I tell fibs (= I didn't read all your comment ) - I do a little on the Maguire's. Alan, the eldest and according to his Facebook page he lives in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne but I don't know where about.

Alan was my mate in the 1960's, along with a large group of us that spent many evenings in the Percy Arms, Station Road. I know Alan has commented on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group this year. Last year he updated the names of this photo - Percy Arms dart team, 1973.

I don't know the exact year but I know after I had moved away from Bedlington, Alan's brother Mick was killed in a road accident outside the Percy Arms. I think it was the early 1970's.

I don't know about the rest of the Maguire family.

Hello Katherine, just been catching up on this site and noticed your topic. You said your grandparents were McGuire family. As Alan would say, memories again. We both knew Michael, I spent some occasions with Michael in sixties and happy to say he was instrumental in me meeting my wife in 65. We were married in 68. He was a good lad Michael and never forgotten him to this day. Hope you get some answers to your subject. P.S. I lived in Beatty Road until I went into army. Good community spirit back then. Regards 

Hi yes my mam is Kathleen and i never got to meet my uncle Michael but heard alot about him...what is your name i will tel my mam ive been talking to you. It must of stuck with beatty road as its still good community spirt to this day.

Actually Haig  Road was named named after General Haig who served in the 1st w/w the poppy appeal bears he’s name & Admiral Beatty was in charge of the fleet in the Battle of Jutland also 1st W/W General Haig is buried at Melrose Abbey.on the Scottish Borders. Milbank place was built in 1950s my mum & Dad was of the first tenants I was doing a topic on Millbank place but never got round to finishing it yet but Millbank terrace & crescent was built much earlier

Will you be posting the topic on here? I would be interested in reading 😊

Thankyou for helping me...so its probably 1922 they were built, i live in one and there sturdy houses and well built..thanks again

Thanks for the info 😊 my grandparents lived millbank place my mam was only 6 month when they moved there in 1948 they were the maguire family. And think millbank place wasnt up long before thry moved in.

Hi i was wondering if anyone had any history on beatty road? What year the house's were built etc....im thinking 1922? I was told haig and beatty was named after admiral beatty and admiral haig?
