Following on from all the entries, and everything connected. The original query relating to the building, I remember it being something to do with ice cream. Apart from Seghini's, there was also Rea's ice cream in the Blyth area. Redhead's sweet factory was at the top of Station Street. I used to stay with my grandmother at her home in Station Street. And at the bottom of that street, about opposite T G Allan shop, was another monumental mason's premises. I remember watching the goods/coal trains pass by from the upstairs bedroom window. I can also vaguely recall being taken out from the air raid shelter, during the war, and seeing the searchlights sweeping around the sky. However, the only fireworks I recall vividly, is when the Co-op bakery at Newsham 'went ahaad', and the whole of the co-op was virtually burned down.
