Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Keith Scantlebury & @HIGH PIT WILMA - Whilst searching for info on the Bedlington Terrier breed Google threw up a link to a Google Blog. I had to join the blog to ask to use the photo, and then the owner, Mark, closed his blog down. The info he commented with the photo was :- The show I presume is a National Bedlington terrier Club show? As the statue at the front is "The most sought after trophy is the Bedlington Coal Co. Ltd Challenge Cup, often referred to as the Bedlington Statuette. This beautiful solid silver model of a Bedlington is now presented for Best in Show at the Championship Show in August. Presented to the club in 1936, the first winner was CH Welldon Adorable owned by Miss M Pattison." info from NBTC website. Alan Smith, another Blog member, said :- Ned Metcalfe is the person in the dark suit and cap, front row right, next to dog who is squatting in an odd manner!

@Les Dixon - current updates on the class photo in the album :- https://www.bedlington.co.uk/gallery/image/2234-1950-class-4a/

@Alison Waters - see comments above

Whilst discussing an Album in the Gallery with a new member, @Alison Waters she commented :- just a message for the administrator of this page - I can only get on if I turn off my firewall for 15 mins. Not sure what causes that but just thought I'd mention it as it may be putting off other users. I don't know all the 'ins-and-outs' of Alison's system just a few bits and wondered if the following info would spark a solution, for Alison, from @Andy Millne or @threegee. I asked Alison what security software she was running and she replied :- Google chrome plus Malwarebytes and McAfee. I know that's not a lot of info but there just might be something recorded within the bedlington.co.uk logs recording the problem that Alison is having that Admin can use to identify the cause of her problem

Jeff Slaughter Snr has now come up with all the names :-

Added into the Gallery

I see I had forgotten to add that one to Westridge School - End of term class photos album in the Gallery. I have updated No 7, from Johnson to Johnstone, and I will post it in the Gallery album. Will it be 1957 @Rigger - 1956 seems too early for Westridge?

Photo from Jeff Slaughter Snr. posted on Facebook group Bedlington remembered. None of names printed on the image could be made out. Two members of the Facebook group commented :- Heather Curtis The lady 2nd from left is my late grandma Harriet Lee (1st Lady councillor of Bedlington In this photo, who then became 1st lady Chairwoman of Bedlington in 1956) Alan Brady My grandad Adam Mair third from the left front row. Wilf Halliday, I think, fifth from the left front row. @Malcolm Robinson & @Russ Wallace - do they have a rogues galley in the council offices where this group could be identified?

@Marie Cousens - although we don't have any photos from your husbands family era there are some interesting old photos in albums within the Gallery under Historic Bedlington What you will find is hat 90% of the photos are whats known locally as 'The Top End'. There is very little on the Bedlington Station area. The Bedlington Station area was know as Sleekburn and the name Bedlington Station appears to have been adopted when the Bedlington railway station opened, in Sleekburn, in 1850. Have a browse of the Gallery and ask away in this topic or the Gallery albums. Be prepared for some 'pitmatic' answers to any questions you may ask.

And me @Vic Patterson - I was blaming my old Windows Vista + Google Chrome PC that I use 98% of the time = big screen - big keyboard - easy for me to use. Yesterday I tried my Laptop - Windows 10 - Microsoft Edge and I get the same result = a small 'icon' and nothing else (I just added the arrow to point out the icon)
