newsagent

A newsagent''s shop (British English), newsagency (Australian English) or newsstand (American and Canadian English) is business that sells newspapers, magazines, snacks and often items of local interest. In Britain and Australia, the person who operates such a business is said to be a newsagent. Newsagents typically operate in well-trafficked public places like city streets, train stations and airports. Racks for newspapers and magazines can also be found in convenience stores, bookstores and supermarkets. The physical establishment can be either freestanding or part of a larger structure (e.g. a shopping mall or a railway station).

In Canada and the United States, newsstands are often open stalls in public locations such as streets, or in a transit terminal or station (subway, rail, or airport).
In the United Kingdom, newsagents'' shops are small shops selling newspapers as well as magazines, provisions, tobacco and alcoholic beverages. Opening times vary according to the owner''s preferences.

Many shops are family owned. These family owned shops may carry purchasing group branding such as SPAR, Today''s, "Local Shop" or NISA. Alternatively the private owner choosing to do his own purchasing (usually from cash and carries) may carrying advertising for a local paper, national news group or soft drinks brand externally. Prior to the banning of advertising of tobacco products this was the most common form of external advertising. Others are part of national chains such as RS McColl/Martins, Co-Operative Groups and WH Smiths, and Newsbox. Mini-marts, off-licences and supermarkets may also act as newsagents.


bedlington

Bedlington is a town in Northumberland, to the north of the Tyne and Wear urban area. It lies 10 miles (16 km) north of Newcastle and 4.5 miles (7 km) southeast of the county town of Morpeth. Other nearby places include Ashington to the north northeast, Blyth to the east and Cramlington to the south.

The parish of Bedlington constituted the historic exclave of County Durham called Bedlingtonshire. It is famous for giving its name to a breed of dog, the bedlington terrier, which was said to be first seen in the countryside town of Rothbury in 1825 supposedly having been bred by gypsies.

Bedlington was an industrial town with an iron works and several coal mines. However in more recent times the town has undergone many changes, and is now more of a Dormitory town.

Bedlington and the hamlets belonging to it were bought by Cutheard, bishop of Durham, between 900 and 915, and although locally situated in the county of Northumberland became part of the county palatine (from Lat. palatium, a palace) of Durham over which Bishop Walcher was granted royal rights by William the Conqueror.
