Blyth Market Square circa 1960

The original Buffalo on Regent Street. It was replaced with a much nicer building in 1899 which has since become the Buffalo Centre.

For all you Blyth Ex-Pats out there that might not know it, the market place has a new feature. Seating made of stone flags which has been laid out in Morse Code to spell B L Y T H.

See photo.

I'm not going to get into a debate about the politics, planning and cost of this wacky stunt, but I do quite like the idea. Unique

Good grief 

I'm not even an ex-pat, I still live there and didn't know that

Oh dear c-side, have you been spending too much time at Woodhorn and missed out on all the modern exciting stuff? 

P

[c-side]

I think perhaps I have - Woodhorn, Blyth Battery and Blyth Local History Society.

I had to look at the Morse Code photo a while before I realised it's an aerial view. Clever but wasted on most, who goes flying over Blyth Market???   :-))

I have some scans of advertisments from an old 1929 publication about Blyth. Copyright is no longer an issue. Would any of you like me to start a new thread with the images?

Go on then!
