This place holds a special place in my heart. I spent many a summer swimming on the deep side when I was a kiddie, although I took my family down there recently and was amazed how shallow the deep side really was. I could spend a whole afternoon walking from the stepping stones to East Hartford through the bluebell woods then back again. Wonderful days, thanks for posting this pic.

Great Photo!

just the way I remember the cheviots looking out the window from westridge, beautiful shot

This is Plessey Mill Farm, it can be seen from Plessey Woods. The actual address for it is Shotton Lane, Cramlington, so by rights, i should maybe make a Cramlington photo album!
I`m not sure if it`s always been called Plessey Mill Farm though, as this photo was only titled `Plessey Mill`.
Maybe someone can enlighten us further on this one.

Great photo of the Zepplin bomb crater,one of the lads inthe crater was my father, Bill Turner, I wasgiven a copy of this Photo by Ned Metcalf who was mine host at the Gardeners Arms, unfortunately due to many house moves over the years the photo has been lost.

Probably the only view of the gates we will ever see again!!

I`m glad you`re enjoying looking at the photo`s

If there`s any photo`s in particular that you`d like to see just let me know and i`ll see if i can find some.

I do love the Morpeth gardens and the bird aviary in particular; I miss this venue but not more than I miss Bedlington. Thanks for a lovely pictoral reminder of life in Northumberland.....

i used to watch all of those when i lived at the station ,,the miners picnic was a very good day out with lots to do and it gave us the chance to sink a few lemonades ????

I`m pretty sure that`s Roy Hattersly not Arthur Scargill, isn`t it?

This place has the best fish & chips in the land! I`ve even had a trip up to Seahouses ONLY because i fancied some fish & chips

Fourgee--lovely image, even in winter...looks familiar...since I've moved away from Bedlington,having trouble pinning down the location....thanks for the memories.

NUM Yorkshire President Arthur Scargill, caught in the Market Place between Millne House and The Market Tavern in the year before his taking over as President of the NUM.

Four years later Arthur would attempt to bring down the government with the disastrous 1984–1985 miners' strike. This would prove to be the final nail-in-the-cofin for the UK mining industry, and have a profound effect on mining communities like our town's.

Front Street East hasn't changed THAT much over nearly 60 years - has it? Unlike Front Street West which is now hardly recognisable in old photos. Pity these pictures weren't a bit bigger.

Nature shows us a "sign"!

i.e. Man made global warming is a load of...

I remember standing on the bridge and getting covered in smoke we thought it was great.

I served my time there as an engineer.

Cracking Snap mate

i agree Beamish is far to clean, although Depends who you get working on the engines.
Come to Tanfield, proper Grubby Industrial place, thats never really changed since coal borad days.
