Hi Alan,

My sister and myself are trying to trace our family history.  My grandmother was the last person to live in Bedlam yard.  I think it was 1969/70 when she moved out.  I do have recollections of my grandparents living there and have some more information if you are still interested.  Just let me know.

Hi Alan, and from me apologies for not being in touch sooner.  Would it be possible to message you?

Hi Alan,
Just seen your message and wondered if you had any luck with Bedlam Yard.

I have information which might be of interest to you as I have been doing some research myself, plus my grandmother was the last person to live there before they were demolished in approximately 1972

If you are still interested please get in touch with me.

This may be a long shot, but does anyone have any information about an area of Wessington that used to be called 'Bedlam Yard'? It's not there now, having been overbuilt years ago I guess.

A number of my FLINT ancestors used to live there, and having seen various Census descriptions of their occupations and status, it is perhaps justified to say that Bedlam Yard's residents were not the wealthiest folks around.

I would be grateful for any information on this area, and I guess photographs may be too much to hope for, but finding someone who knows more about Bedlam Yard than me would be encouraging.

Your hopefully,

Alan
