Thanks eggy. East Row was highlighted by a few people in the Record of Enlistments document.. I will do a check against the 1911 Census for their names, might give an answer. Cheers

Houses with cardinal points in their name, that I can remember are :- Bedlington Station - pit rows - South Row, North Row (& Shop Row) surrounding area = West View, North View, East View & East Crescent Top End - only know of New South Row (Dr Pit area) Stakeford = East View West Sleekburn = South Row & North Row Checked some of the old maps and can't find any more

sorry meant to say East Row

@Rigger Can't think of an East Street in Bedlington. There is an East View, Bedlington Station = terraced row on the A1147 west of Grange Park estate . Was Front Street East ever referred to as east Street?
-
Where was East Street? Was it in the Bedlington Area?

@Tonyp - plenty of comments, aboit Milne's shop, on the Facebook groups Tony but unfortunately no names of anyone in the photos. There was an older photo, c1938, posted and one member made the comment :- It is Jimmy Millne's .That photo was taken in 1938 the men are Jack Dunsmore Bill Tait and holding the accordion is Maurice Holdsworth. But I doubt if any of them are in your photo. -

If you find out any area or street names Martin there are some old photos, early and mid 20th century, around that the members have posted on this site and the Bedlington Facebook groups that might interest you. -

Alan, thank you for the Woodhorn link. Sadly (!) it is a holiday and I won't be able to do any real research, I just want to visit a few places to try and get a feel for the geographical origins of my forebears. Martin -

The map I’ve shown is the 25 inch version, recently introduced, and often gives more info compared to the 6 inch versions. -

Stokers Buildings - Choppington/Scotland Gate

@Newbedders - I'm not a member of the National Library of Scotland or the Old Maps site and I get different results each time I visit the sites. The NLS has so many different options so I had a look at the different years displayed on the https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/427570/581434/10/100708 site and non of the buildings - Stoker's - Pringle's - Foster's - Fenwick's or Rutter's appear on the maps pre 1922. Stokers Buildings I could only find on the 1922 & 1924 maps. On the 1937 map Stoker's Buildings are not identified but Fenwick's Buildings appear near to where Stoker's buildings were -

@Joan Eadington - started a topic in the 'Discussion' section rather than discuss in the Gallery section. I only know of Stokers Buildings and Stokers Yard in Bedlington. There are currently properties for sale with the postcode - NE62 5SE = Choppington = Stokers Buildings but I don't know if these houses are built where the old Stokers Buildings of Choppington would have been sited. -

Does anyone know where Stokers Buildings (or Stokias Buildings) were in Scotland Gate, in relation to todays buildings? -

I have never researched my family and therefore never used St Cuthberts archives so wouldn't be able to advise you on who to contact initially to ensure you can get access to the records during the time you would be in the area. I would assume you already have a contact within the church. There is the 'Woodhorn Museum & Northumberland Archives' site, approximately 7 miles from Bedlington, that I know when researching their ancestors, and the history of the area, many people use. It would be worth your while contacting them before you travel :- http://www.experiencewoodhorn.com/ National Library of Scotland - https://maps.nls.uk - oldest map of the area -

Hello, I am visiting Bedlington next month, and I'd like to soak up the atmosphere of where Robert Smith Watson, my 3x great grandfather, and his father and grandfather were born. I would welcome any suggestions as to where I should go. St Cuthbert's church seems a good place to start. Other family names include Gray, Ogle, Robson and Gilhespy. By 1851 Robert Smith Watson was an apprentice butcher in Bishopwearmouth. Thanks in hope, Martin

@Tonyp - @Andy Millne is there any additional info that might help -eg. did they work at the shop at the Market Place or would the era, late 40's to early 50's mean they would have worked in Jimmy Millne's Cycles & Radio' business or The Terrier Plate works?

I know Andy - I got it right on the other photo - put it down to ✍️ -
It's 2 'L's in Millne 😉
