    @Pete - Edit Barrett - Facebook group Bygone Bedlington posted this comment this evening :- Found these when clearing a late relatives house, some very old programs. If anyone is interested in buying them message me. No silly offers Along with that comment this image :- I have extracted some of the images but can't straighten them up :- And Google street view showing the bit that still exists = Jubilee Mews :-

    I have very simplistic views. If the housing is affordable and people wan to live in their own house, with all their own facilities, then nothing wrong with terraced housing = good soundproof insulation. After that then I would say it's all down to the tenants - some will mix respect their neighbours and some will not. I doubt that will ever change whether it's terrace, semi or detached housing.

    @HIGH PIT WILMA - unfortunately the 1950 photo, with young Furness, distorts when expanded. This is the best I could get :-

    No response off the others sites, yet, Bill. Health - I work on the basis that I enjoyed myself getting to this state so I just have to put up with the consequences . I always keep an eye oot for you when I pass through Bomarsund as I expect to see you + dog outside your bungalow - near the bus stop?

    Janice has remembered No 33 but still can't recall the surname of No 16 that she thinks begins with 'T'.

    No idea what a typical Cambodian housing estate would like. If it's affordable to the locals then is it better than what they have now? http://anorthumbrianabroad.blogspot.com/2017/07/cambodia-microcosm-2-neighbourhood.html

    @Jack be - don't know anything about Wright's the Bakers. The Bedlington Mill (Corn) is identified on the maps produced in 1866 and 1898 and then the 1924 map states Bedlington Mill ( Disused). The only photo that I have seen that shows part of the mill building(s) is one without a date from the bottom of the Bedlington Bank and you can see a chimney - top left.

    @HIGH PIT WILMA - posted your comment on the Cambois Facebook group within the posting of this photo and a young lady, Michelle Grant, responded with the following comments :- I'm a great granddaughter of ada & charles(cosiminski) calumboski.i know that they once lived at 8 sinkers row. Names of some of their children that I remember were Sydney,Alfred,charles, Sylvia, & katerine who was my grandmother nicknamed kitty, kitty married edward snowdon, they had two girls Irene(my mother) & Linda. My mother married a man with the surname of Long it was very short lived though,then she married my father Selby Carr from newbiggin. Michelle Grant Ada & charles calumboski with their granddaughter Irene Snowdon. I think this church must be in cambois or Bedlington station.

    @Andy Millne - for all the entries in the Events calendar is there any chance of a reminder, for every event, being displayed in the 'Welcome to Bedlington' screen that's displayed when anyone first connects to the site? Thinking on the lines of a reminder say a few days in advance of the event and the event being displayed until the end of the.

    If there was another Brexit vote I think the leave would get less votes than our 2019 entryπŸ˜‰

    Hopefully one, if not more, of the members will have some info on the area your family lived but as Vic says some dates + additional info etc would be useful
