Blyth, Cowpen, Windmill Inn

[skida]

Not only Premier Meats at the Kitty - The car showroom up past the Bebside is becoming "The Fat Butcher" (I hope that relates to size and not what they are selling), and there is also "Meat and Two Veg" across the road behind the other showroom. Looks like Bebside/Kitty Brewster is becoming the new Shambles area.

The Fat Butcher van has been parked in the Meat n Two veg car park over the past few weeks, been deducing that Meat n Two Veg are moving premesis and changing their name to TFB

I've just heard today from a relation in Blyth that the Windmill is now all boarded up. They are not sure when it happened.

Just posting this for the interest of the Blyth folk that visit the forum. This scene dated at 1922 has changed quite a bit now, though the Windmill Inn still stands! On the opposite side of the road the gable end of the King's Arms can be identified further down the road, but the buildings between it and the photographer have long since gone and the site occupied by what is today a petrol station and car sales garage. I remember it being a Ford garage and looking on with excitement at the launch of the then new Ford Capri MK2.

Hope it generates some interest and possibly memories for some.

Enjoy.
