1930 Layna Bed Council.jpg

Photo from  Layna Alexandrou-Panayiotou - Facebook group Bedlington Remembered. Layna did not know the exact year of the photo but we have another photo, dated 1930, in this album from Louise Scarr with the same teacher (probably the Headmaster) man wearing the exact same outfit as No 36 in this photo. 

Facebook group - Bygone Bedlingtpn member Janice Robinson commented :- 40 Roland Thornton my late uncle

No's 12 & 36 named in a 1930 school football team photo in Evan Martin's book Bedlingtonshire Remembered - The People's History series.

This photo is in the book - 'TO THE MINER BORN' , by Mary Wade, and has the comment - ' Standard 7 - with Mr Grey left and Mr Thompson right, 1930. I am second row from back, third from right.

Silly me - in the book - To The Miner Born -  it has 'To my late husband Charles' so I'm guessing Wade was her married name. I can't find a mention of Mary's maiden name.  

In one of the photographs in her book she tells us her maiden name is Mary Bohills.

Cheers @James - I flicked through and now I see her, with name, in the Salvation Army outfit.

Facebook group Bygone Bedlington members - Mikki Lee Townley named No 41 - Phil Shaw named No 31 & Michelle Bond named No 26.

Adele Mitchinson has named No 45 as her mam Audrey Shaw.
