Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Les Dixon - I can't name anyone in the photo but the members of the Bedlington remembered Facebook group might be able to. Ok if I post your photo on that site and ask for names?

Maureen Quait - Bedlington remembered Facebook group has asked if anyone can help her identify anyone that is with her granda, John Maddigan, in these two photos. She posted the photos along with another comment about her granda = '...........thinking today of my Grandad, John Maddigan (2nd from right) who always planted his potatoes on Good Friday. Was this a North Eastern tradition, or one that he inherited from his Irish family?' Another comment Maureen made was :- 'The only one that I recognise is the man 2nd from the left, who I believe was called harry, and may have lodged with my friend's family, the Halls, in Haig Road. The photo would have been taken in the 1950's'

Cheers Andy - you would expect them to jump at the chance, for free - I will see if I can persuade the 'Admin', via Facebook site, to join and use the Events

@Andy Millne - has anyone from the East Bedlington Community Centre ever contacted you about advertising their events on this site? I am not involved with the Community Centre but have occasionally added their events in the Events section on this site when their adds have 'popped-up' on Facebook. Would it benefit both parties if the y used this site to advertise?

Thanks @Carol Sneddon - I've added the 'c1964' into a comment in the Album we have for Westridge. This is a link to the Album that is held in the Gallery -> Historic Bedlington -> Westridge School - End of term class photos
