]]> U3A tour old arcade building Ashington U3A members gather before their tour of the "arcade"

A visit to view the Co-operative building on Woodhorn Road, Ashington was enjoyed by members of Ashington U3A history group. Mr Saki Ghafoor, the owner, gave us permission to tour the upstairs areas, once familiar to all townsfolk in decades past. The Arcade was the meeting place of the young folk on a Saturday night and many romances blossomed in the ballroom and cafe.
