Yes this photo seems to confirm the gift shop as ?? Next to F.C. Carr and son. 

The building with the ?? In your image is currently being fitted out as a bathroom showroom. I think that was Millne’s gift shop with Meadow dairy to the right. 

I’m not sure of the history of 90 before it was the British Gas showroom. 

Dunn’s was demolished in the 90s after a fire. The building with the bedlington.co.uk logo is number 90. Dunn’s was the next one 88. 86 is now also demolished (was Dennis Todd’s music shop)

The visualisation of the timeline is broken following a recent upgrade but the data is still there. I'll try and get the animation working again.

Split Doctor's yard posts into the new topic at https://www.bedlington.co.uk/forums/topic/9243-doctors-yard-top-end/

That would indicate the item was deleted.

I have cleaned up personal info from this topic

Still getting this

It's unblocked at McAfee so there may be a local cache that needs updating on your computer. Try again in a few hours. To workaround you can whitelist the 31.193.136.176 IP

1. Open McAfee.
2. Click Web and Email Protection or click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Firewall, scroll down, and then click Net Guard.
4. Select the IP Address listed for the site that you want to access.
   
   NOTE: To identify the IP address by name, you need to use a DNS or IP address lookup tool.
    
5. Click Edit, and then change Block to Allow.
6. Click Save or Apply.

 

Should be fixed now

On further investigation it looks like they have an issue with the IP address which is shared with other web sites so it's possible there is another objectionable one. I have contacted McAfee for a review/more info.

That's odd. Are the settings set quite restrictive to block forum/bulletin boards? McAfee doesn't seem to have any issues with the site in general.

Thanks  - Fixed

Sure. This is a public community, post away and any members that can help will. The History Hollow forum is a good place to start with any questions on that topic.

Keith sadly passed away in 2015

It looks like they let the sixtownships website domain name expire. I have removed the link and added one to Past Times History Group in its place. Thanks for pointing this out.

Has it gone forever or can the option be added?

Top right of the post, click the 3 dots.

I have made the defaults a bit more aggressive. These will apply to new members.

I have made some more updates to the site for 2021.

Generally the look & feel has been cleaned up and compatibility with mobile devices has been improved further.

There are still a couple of things being worked on due in the next couple of months.

Incidentally storing all your passwords in plain text in a spreadsheet is a very bad idea. 😉

What you need is a password manager such as LastPass or 1password.

Next best is your os/browser password manager (what you are doing when you opt to save usernames and passwords after logging in). The difference between this and a spreadsheet is the passwords are stored encrypted protected by your primary password.

I'm sure is possible but can you confirm that when a member creates an album other members, as well as add comments and photos to exiting entries, all other members can be given the option to add additional photos as separate entries?  

Yes it's an option in the privacy menu when creating an album.

Today’s funeral I gather was for Bob Wright (Wrights of Bedlington). I used to look forward to a sly cake from them on Front Street West after school. 

😂 I added a poll (nominations still open). My vote goes to Eggy for maintaining a fantastic gallery and Canny Lass for the quiz.
