Ashington or Bedlington, I get mixed up between him and Alan who lives where, but near enough no difference, I lived in a little pit village, East Cramlington in the same area, back in the early 70’s, a great area for lurchers and whippets . The Charltons brother, Sankeys dad and Doherty’s dad all had whippets, as did I. Cheers. Quote Link to post
