Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@HIGH PIT WILMA - long shot, have you seen this one on your dog walks ?

This year :- Parade starts 2:15pm for 2:30 service - info posted on the Bedlington Remembered Facebook group site by Heather Stoddard. I Googled - 'remembrance day parade Bedlington 2017' but no info relating to the service in Bedlington was returned. Images from previous years from Simon Williams & Maureen Graham :-

This dog found at Boumarsund by Lindsay Davison. The dog is now with Robson and Prescott Veterinary Surgeons - 38 Staithes Ln, Morpeth NE61 1TD - 01670 512275

Cheers Peter.

@Peter Turner - do you know if the photo is Barrington, - Puddlers Row or somewhere else?

@Peter Turner - the area that's green on the right hand side of the A1968 is what I would call Willow Bridge. Is that the name/area you have found? There is a Facebook group for Barrington and although the oldest members will be people born in the early 1940's there may be some info of use to you in your research but you would have to join the group to view the info and photos as it is a 'Closed group' :- https://www.facebook.com/groups/958444760904321/ = Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!! The cover photo for the group shows a small allotment area between the Barrington rows of houses - I can't find a date or the origin of this photo (but I'm sure it is available, somewhere !) :-

Nothing further posted by a neighbour on Facebook and if you use the link in Andy's original posting the planning application is still open but as you say nothing appears to have been decided since June

I'm amazed Andy - no one on this site, has used a Bedlington bona fide plumber plumber that can be recommended!!!

It's just me Malcolm, haven't seen any post on any of the Facebook or community site where someone said - I voted. I guessed they would have but just wanted to MAN4B

It's just that I haven't seen one comment, on any of the sites I visited, from anyone that has voted John so I thought I would get pushy It's the land where the two pits connected to each other = Behind Rothesay Terrace up to Vulcan Place - don't think I have seen a photo showing the boundary of the park so this is where I think the boundary lines are :-

That statement above - 'and Gallagher Park has only 14 nominations....... is not correct - should have said :- ...and Gallagher Park has 13 other parks nominated against it, CL & me have voted.

And here was me expecting The Terrier Otter & Parsnip to be opening in Tumby.

That's what I thought when I Google Tumby, no pubs! So I picked on the independent name Malcolm, it's just 10.3 miles, via the B1192. Missed the one a couple of miles away. I blame the wife, she was still telling me I was going the wrong way on Google Street view when she brought my tea + ginger snaps in!!!!!

I was delivered in 10, Beatty Road, by Dr Brown, 14-10-1948, and they tell me they were so excited they forgot to have me weighed at birth. So that photo of me standing up, with the left leg of me nappy/pants hanging doon taken at No 5 Coquetdale Place, could only be autumn 49 or Spring 1950. Me mam, the oldest of me grannies 9, did say that No 10 Beatty Road was full in October 1948 = 5 Edgar's, granny & granda + at least their 4 youngest - so me mam & dad took the keys to No 5 Coquetdale before the rest of the houses were habitable. One comment that has always stuck with me was - 'misses, is that youngin still alive, he's nivver moved all the time we've been busy....' and that was from the workmen still finishing off No 5. Apparently left outside in me pram I slept like a log and that ability to relax and dream away stayed with me to this day ( doobe do do doobe....). That's another reason why Barrington CP school had as many, if not more, pupils from Bedlington than Barrington in the 50s as nearly every family from Coquetdale, and the high numbers in Waverley Avenue (also airey houses - bottom bit from the cut through to Pioneer Terrace built earlier in traditional brick) had to go there - stuck in no man's land between the Station & Whitley schools catchment area.

Soon I will have you - Merc just singing, and dancing with the partridges, in the rainDdoobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do, what a glorious feeling I'm happy again, just singing, and dancing, in the rain Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do, Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do, Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do, Come on threegee, post a video of yourself singing and dancing in the rain outside a pub near Tumby - The Malcolm Arms ?

@tracey - a couple of days ago a Julie Street, on the Facebook site Bygone Bedlington, posted the same question and there is only one photo, long before the 60's, that shows Hirst Terrace, but not in any detail :-

I keep asking people in the street HP but nobody seems to kna, it's as if they just disappeared one day! I have no recollection of Puddler's Row. My mam's aunt lived in Elenbel Avenue and me, and my two older brothers, spent loads of time at their house in the mid to late 50's :- Elenbel 1955 or 56 - I first got my specs in 1955 age 7 The old maps at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/427570/581434/10/100708 only have an issue date, not the date the area was surveyed, and the 1951 map shows Puddlers Row but no council houses, including Elenbel around the Oval area. We moved into an airey house, Coquetdale Place, in 1949 0ne bike between us - a wheel each. so the 1951 map is a few years behind. The next map, 1961, shows all the airey houses and Elenbel, Tomlea and the old folks bungalows, Trotters Grove, but no Puddlers Row and Trotters Grove is in a line with a grassed area that people older than me say is where Puddlers Row was. Dosen't answer you question HPW but filled in 10mins of my time.
