As a Bedlington Stoker myself I find this extremely interesting. I know that there are 2 Stokers on the war memorial in Bedlington. I am the son of the late William Crawford (Bill) Stoker, grandson of the late Edward Noble Stoker, and great grandson of Ralph Stoker. Apparently Edward was one of a large number of Stokers in his generation.1 point

Alan, Thanks for the update. Yes, Miss Smith and Mr Hedderly were the Deputy Head replacements for Miss Edna Humphrey ( who passed away on the day before her 100th birthday) and Mr Richards who both left BGS in 1964. Miss King/Mrs Penhalluric replaced a Mrs Flanagan who left in December 1962. ( a mere 63 years ago). The only female PE teacher (can't remember her name) that I remember (in 1967) played cricket for England women and thrashed my bowling to the far end of the Hockey pitch). She arranged a hockey match between the senior girls hockey team and the Upper sixth boys. We (the boys) were completely outplayed and had to resort to GBH to sneak a 1-0 win. Keith1 point
