Circus In Bedlington?

[keith lockey]

I can't remember if I flagged this up elsewhere but here goes anyway.

I vaguely remember going to a circus - somewhere in Bedlington in the 60s. I recall it because the entire family - including next door's kids - went down with some kind of food poisoning. (It was the candyfloss we had.)

But my brother can't remember it. Can anyone throw some light on the subject.

I am certain it was in Bedlington - Glebe Road way!!!

Keith, does your brother have amnesia???

He seems to have forgotten most of his time in bedders haha.....

It wasn't just the market tavern on a Friday was it?

Is it a circus in there often? My mate Les goes quite often to see the bands.
