What a wonderful site! I sat down to write a couple of e-mails at 8 pm, started to search for a piece of information I needed and somehow ended up here. It's now almost 2 am and I just cant drag myself away from all your wonderful pictures. You really should put them all in a book.I've now wandered down memory lane for almost 6 hours.I've laughed I've cried and I've enjoyed every minute

I'm originally from Netherton Colliery but I beleive I also lived at The Hartlands (the housing estate down the bank from the catholic church) when I was pre school age. I went to Westridge Secondary School and left in 1965. From the age of 26 I moved around the country quite a bit in search of work (nursing) and ended up in Sweden at the age of 40. I've been here ever since. It's a few years since I was last in Bedlington and then only for a flying visit (funeral).If anybody thinks they know me please mail me. (My maiden name was Bower).

Keep up the good work.

Hi Alanc, the last time I visited St Cuthbert's was at the end of last year and the grounds were under a lot of snow so didn't notice much.

What kind of a state are they in?

Unlucky Alf (filmed in Ashington)

There used to be some funny stuff on the Fast Show, wonder what made them come to Ashington? That must have been filmed in the 90s, judging by the way people are dressed...

But Bedlington doesn't have a chance against Morpeth, or worse - Blyth

the closest shop i can remember to Milbank Road was Ann's Pantry?

Anns Pantry is on Allgood Terrace. The shop on Millbank Road was Frazers the last time it was open - but it hasnt been a shop for at least 8 years now.

The link is to a 404 GGG.......I presume it is an ex presidential offering?

Well done Merlin on clearing that up - and it's nice to know your work has been recognised:

Good luck John

I second that John, do continue to keep us updated on Synergy. Your hard work and enthusiasm will pay off and the town is behind you.

Hello Terry, welcome to the forum

I asked about this at the checkout last time I was in. The girl on the till said there is a slight delay due to Bats. Once the Bat issue has been sorted, things will get going.

Has anyone else heard about this? I'm presuming the Bats are in the building next door?

Wetherspoons in Bedlington - I'll believe it when I see it.

I watched it, and am still chuckling at the idea that David Cameron has met a black man

Same - it was totally unnecessary.

Sorry to hear that Joe is not well in hospital. I'm sure he's in the best hands and I hope he's feeling better soon.

By all accounts he does have one admirer...............himself :lol:
