Bedlington Boys band?



Anyone have any ideas as to where this photograph could have been taken, and who they were? My grandpa, Thomas Bestford is in the middle of the back row. He was born in 1899, and i would imagine he was about 12 when this was taken.

@Jo C - don't recognise the building. I had a quick check through the Gallery Albums to see if the windows matched any of those of the local schools as we have some old class photos from the early half of the 20th century but there are none showing 6 panes of glass. We only have one photo of the Miners Institute at Bedlington 'A' pit but unfortunately no windows can bee seen, just the front door + small window next to the door. I will keep looking.

@Jo C - unfortunately can't find any old Bedlington building that matches your image.
