Bedlington Grammar School teaching staff - 1949. The photo has been on before but the previous photo had been cropped and one teacher, on the front row- left hand side as you look at the photo, was missing. The staff were numbered 1 to 25 on the previous photo so not to confuse thinks I have numbered this lot the same with the missing teacher now in view as number '17a'. @df2204 you named many of the teachers when the other photo was posted. Do you know the name of 17a ?

Photo from the Mansel Dinnis collection. The next photo in this album is identified as the Lower Sixth Form, 1947, and there are 19 pupils in that photo that also are in this one so I assume this is the Lower Sixth + the Upper Sixth pupils. -
