Blyth History.

Back again as time goes by, -yesterday evening my memory recalled factories on the Cowpen Road into Blyth, i.e. on the left hand side of the road when travelling into Blyth - just below Hall's Dentist and the lane which led to the sewage works.  There were 2 or possibly 3 factories there.  One which I remember may have been 'British Celanese' ?? [I might be wrong]; and also ' Town Tailors'
Can anyone clarify this for me re those 2 names I have mentioned ?
I do know that sometime in the later years, 70s or so, one of the factories was owned by AudisNoble, and that factory produced plastics, including 4 pint plastic beer bottles for filling at your local.

I seem to think there was Vitapount factory, Town Tailors and Remploy. May be wrong as moved away 1967.  Maybe Brentford Nylons were there sometime after we left Blyth too.

Can anyone or a moderator help ? 
Have we lost TriciaK on this site ?  She was a regular contributor here on Northumberland.  Viewing her profile she was last active in 2022.

Following on from an earlier request I made here a year or two back for any pictures of Wright Street School I just found this one. Taken in the mid 1980s I think.

Any way I can get intouch with Jim Harland ? He might be a relation down the line !? I’m doing a lot of research on Robert cole Henderson and he married Hannah Harland

Hi
I'm completing my family tree and need some help. My mother (Patricia Hogg) worked at Nutress factory in the early/mid 1970's on Bebside industrial estate. Does anyone know what the nature of this business was? i can't find anything online..
Thanks in anticipation.
