  1. Strangely while working in the garden 'West Bedlington' my husband heard a series of loud bangs.

    OK it could be the opencast, but it sounded nearer.

    Anyone any idea what they are doing in the middle of the Bedlington Lane Farm.

    From both roads particularly if your on the bus it looks like drilling or worse.

    Surely they have dug out all the coal.

    Hopefully we are not in line for Fracking!

    I am trying to catch up on old posts.

    Basically 'Spoaching'

  2. This lady also hid in a broom cupboard in the Houses of Parliament. Then she could say her residence for the census was Parliament even though she could not vote.

    Tony Benn has put a plaque on the back of the door.

    Several people in the area have said they were related to this lady.

    This year is important.

    Inspirational, to fight for a cause that you believe in and to die.

    Her grave in Morpeth says just that.

    Sad that the jockey suffered but interesting that he paid tribute to her.

  3. Memories of the films I saw in Bedlington are too many to mention.

    Having just been to see Django Unchained at the Tyneside Cinema I am very happy to remember the tanner rush at the station and many many cowboy films

    Tarantino has paid homage to Mel Brooks and the whole 'genre'! With touches of Pulp Fiction!

  4. This venue needs saving it seems.

    Makes me wonder how many people have memories of concerts.

    My first concert was a strange one

    'The Hollies and Roy Orbison' sharing the bill.

    Everyone listened to Roy Orbison but for the Hollies It was people screaming so loudly you could hear nothing at all.

    Possibly1964

  5. Maybe the word should have been Lisk. Trial and error.

    Strangely my Grandmothers generation used to decide each week whether they were ' in the band or out' basically to describe arguments and disagreements.

    Either way thanks to everyone, who has so effectively found out information.

    'In the band or out'

    A good talking point
