Northumberland / New Hartley Poltergeist
« on: Monday 02 December 19 08:39 GMT (UK) »
Sometime in the 1960 s I seem to remember that Poltergeist activity was reported as occurring in New Hartley . I believe the local press viz:- Blyth News , sent a staff reporter but I can find no one who can recall the events . I think the man of the family worked at Bates Colliery was married and had a son .

There was the Tower Lodging House at the bottom end of Disraeli Street behind a row of shops on Regent Street . When it eventually closed it was the site of a joinery workshop and later became a garage and body repair shop . The back area of the building housed crisp factory viz :- Tudor Crisps .

Harry Cosimini had a Fish and Chip Shop next to Newsham level crossing .Shop still in business but no longer operated by the family . When Harry left his son Peter took on the business and ran it until he retired .Peter had a Fish and Chip Shop in Bowes Street before going to the Newsham premises . Cecil Thompson took over " Morgan's " shop having given up his former shop at the bottom of Gladstone Street , Cowpen Quay .There is now a Fish and Chip Shop in the small shopping precinct at was once the middle block of Elliott Street .

Northumberland / Re: current location of Blyth Market place drinking fountain
« on: Tuesday 12 December 17 08:41 GMT (UK) »
I visited the suggested site of Blyth Market Place Drinking Fountain using the information indicated on Google ,map kindly supplied by Stan ; only to draw a complete blank . The occupant of the property shown said he had no knowledge of the fountain and had not heard of it during his twentyfive years living in the area. A close neighbour who had lived in the area for sixty-plus years also claimed not to have any knowledge of any drinking fountain . The site is either a closely guarded secret , to rightly , maintain the privacy of the owner or it has long been removed and its whereabouts forgotten .

I seem to remember that a Col Henry John Sweeney was featured on This is your Life when Eamon Andrews was the host . After a distinguished career in The Pioneer Corps he was at one time in "charge" at the Battersea Home . Could this be the same man ?
