did Bedlington Grammar ever have a previous site? I recall passing the 11 plus as it was and being offered a choice of Ashington, \Bedlington \Morpeth, and \\\Blyth  as well as another which  I cant recall poss kings or RGS. Was juts wondering if Bedlington Grammar was older than the building?? and where it was located

Never found anything on the www to suggest a previous site. Just the info in Wikipedia about the new community school that gives a bit of history :-

Thought the site the ex head boy, Mansel Dinnis, created would have had some facts but it's all photos, the earliest from the 40s : - http://www.sempersursum.co.uk/

 I'm just a www searcher - never been to the Woodhorn Museum and Northumberland Archives :- http://www.experiencewoodhorn.com/

@pilgrim @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948), when I passed my 11plus @ the Cooncil Juniors in 1968 those were the schools offered, I went to BGS along with classmate Vivien Joyce, MiBestie Josephine Sumner got packed off to Morpeth. My impression is that it was choice then; decisions were based on travelling costs and parents history; my Dad was a BGS man , played school football with Bobby Charlton.🌈xx
