In 2018, Cllr. Adran Cartie, Mayor of Blyth Town Council, unveiled a blue plaque at Croft Park, home of the Blyth Spartans A.F.C. It reads:
Centre forward for Blyth
Spartan Ladies (1917-1919)
and England.
Bella scored 133 goals in one
season and was part of the team
which went on to win
the Munitionettes' Cup
in May 1918.
The Journal 02/11/2018 reports the unveiling and tells the story.
Bella was the daughter of a coal miner who played for a team drawn from women working in the docks or in the munitions factories.
