Well, if it was a Monday or Tuesday it would have been an Elvis picture ... they seemed to be on at the start of every week; I recollect the programme changing every two days then a three day programme at the weekend. I was in the place watching It's a Mad, Mad World when the projectionist put-up a slide over the flic with the news that JFK had been topped in Dallas.

The Wallaw name has thrown me a bit as I remember it as the Palace ... but again it could be the grey stuff turning to mush!

I should also get a prize for suggesting there'd be no Rosebay Willowherb growing there now.

I had a look at Google Earth just now to try to place the track in context and was mildly suprised to see the railway line still running through Bedlington Station, although it must be said that the track bed looks in a right state at the level crossing ... litter, broken wooden boards, etc. Does this track get much used these days? I seem to remember that once the coal traffic was lost the line was occasionally used as a diversion loop when engineering work was being done on the London/Edinburgh mainline. Once in the 70s my Kings Cross train to chillyjockoland was sent through Bedders ... it made my day!!!

Canny is spot on with time of year ... just look at all that seeding Rosebay Willowherb growing in the foregroud to middle-distance. I have fond memories of that stuff growing just about everywhere back in the day - not such a common site now; I suppose that's down to less wasteland and railway bankings.

Let me remind you all of what the Oracle Symptoms wrote way back on February 11th:

"We could see the Colonels back!"
