    Hi Pete,would it have been Billy McGregor..AKA known as "The Elvis Experience",in his earlier days?

    He lost his lovely old Dad ,"Old Billy",who moved into my Mother-in-Law's house when she had to move into a Bungalow..years ago.

    No Bill, it was Bob McGregor. I had a good week last week, stopped at  Cresswell Towers for the week. Met up with a lot of old friends in Bedlington.

    As a said Bill a cud nivor spel propaley :D

    There was a few local groups around at that time, The Avengers as you have already mentioned, The Dynacords and the Olympics to name just three.

    I remember the Avengers and the Olympics used to practice at the YMCA at the station, I think Alan has mentioned that in previous posts.  

    I remember the Dynacords used to practice in the Wharton but I did not see them much, it was good for Bedlington to have so many groups.

    Last time I was in Bedlington (a couple of months ago) I was talking to a friend of yours, Bill, Mr Mcgregor and hopefully will be having a pint with him again in September as we are coming up for the week.  

  3. Mostly Pigeons, but there was only a hand full of allotments there. Entrance was from the cut and they were sandwiched between the gardens of Pioneer Terrace and Waverley  Avenue. I have not been past that area for a lot of years but I think they built houses or flats on that land both sides of the cut.

    1. Where did the club go after leaving Millne Park? I believe it was Bedlington Station Welfare but cannot confirm it. 

     

     

    I would agree with the Station park. I watched them play Ashington in an FA cup preliminary round 1961 at the Station park. reason I remember it as 1961, it was the year I left school.
