West Lea Church?

[Canny lass]

The funeral chapel was still standing - just - in 1988 on my last visit to the cemetary, and I attended a funeral there as late as summer 1983. If you look in the fantastic picture gallery on this site, under:

-Historic Bedlington

-Bedlington & Netherton Old Photos

-Page 1

you'll find a b&w photo of the chapel (Last photo on the 2nd row named "Bedlington Church") kindly uploaded by Cympil.

Oops! Just noticed that Cympil has already posted the photo for you.

i remember something aboot that the vicker at the time was locked up coz there was a kids body found under the floor of the little chapple that was why it was demolished before it was knocked down it was used as an under age brothel

Use the site in a correct manner m8. if you got nothing better to say just don't bother with silly remarks.
