@Andy Millne - posted your photo on the Bygone Bedlington group for the admin, John Krzyzanowski to see as Woodhorn Museum (where John works) might have some info. If John replies I will update you. A couple of comments from the Bygone Bedlington members :- Scoop Jeffrey At first glance I thought it was Bernard Manning! Vic Thompson Wow! That’s fantastic! Can it not be placed on show somewhere? Lisa Kelly Barry Lairds house has one on the bar Viv Mather From what I recall, Lairds House was a rebuild in 1777 of a previous farmhouse that stood on the site... not sure of family name, just that the present building wasn't the original. Hide or report this Christine Warne Viv Mather it did belong as a farm to the Marshall family before it became a pit managers residence x

@Stuart & @Canny lass - this is a map and comment that Eilleen Brooks - facebook group Bygone Bedlington, posted on the 8th November 2019 when a member was asking if anyone knew where Drummonds Yard used to be :- Eileen Brooks 8 November 2019 Judging from the census report- Drummond's Yard was between Wilson's Yard and the Sun Inn, on the High Street. I have one map that shows Wilson's Yard but not Drummond's (unfortunately copyright means I cannot display it). I have indicated on the map below where I believe it to have been (one of the two yards next to Wilson's) Hope this helps.

@Canny lass - hard to tell the age(s). They look about 6 or 7 to me. I remembered I had posted another St Bedes class photo on before with Vince Allison, No 19, and Grace Fitzgibbon, No 27, so had a look and that shows an older set of pupils but has the year as c1953 so I'm thinking, if the names are correct, then this photo with Mrs Onskavich, must be c1950 . This is the c1953 photo with Paul Goonan No 16 :-

Alan's couldn't remember any stories etc and replied with :- Alan Dickson Yes there was Alan, I was living next to the Chapel at the time, took over the shop where Yarrows were, Bloke had a tash on.
Bill - names updated from your comment and Dave Shepard (Bedlington Facebook groups) has confirmed No 3 is Dennis Davies and Gordon Smith who posted the photo says it's from the Blyth News records and he is not surprised that any of the names were wrong
@HIGH PIT WILMA :- Were you at Choppington 'B' pit in 1965? This photo posted on the Past Times History Group, Facebook, by Gordon Smtih , chairman of the Blyth Local History Society (BLHS) Gordon has named the lads but No 3 looks remarkably like Dennis Davies, lived in Burnside, Bedlington Station. Did you know Dennis?
