Westridge Alumni

[westridge wanderer]

Hello to everyone out there that went to Westridge in the 60’s. My name is Ken Straw some of you may remember some not. My siblings all attended Westridge, Pamela, Peter and Pauline Straw. We lived in Westlea, we are now scattered around the globe (well almost). I moved to the USA, lived there for 43 years and retired in Southeast Spain. My sister Pamela still lives in Calgary, Canada and Peter lives in Bedlington and Pauline lives in Whitley Bay.

 

Love to hear from anyone we went to school with!!!!

@westridge wanderer welcome back to the group.

Have you checked the Gallery section? Under Gallery/Historic Bedlington there is an album of Westridge group photos and below each photo there will be a few members 'Id's' of those who attended Westridge.

This is a direct link to the Westridge album :-

@westridge wanderer - before your family moved to Westlea did your family live at Netherton Colliery?

There is a Netherton Colliery school photo that was posted on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington by Andrea Warner in 2015 and a Pamela Straw was named in the photo.

This is the photo with some names :-

 

This is a direct link to the album the photo is in :-

We lived in Hartford Camp before Westley, me and Peter attended Netherton Colliery school with Pamela attending Nedderton Village school. Then we all went to Bedlington county primary school.

 

Thanks for the link, great memories in those old photo’s.

As you will have noticed Ken the photo I poated above is Nedderton Village school - that's me getting mixed up and calling it Netherton Colliery school
