  2. From the album: Bedlington Station 1st School

    Photo from John Dawson, Facebook - sixtownships group - no date or names. This school was originally called Bedlington Station Council School . Extract from the National Archives site = 'A new council school was built in Bedlington between 1906 and 1910. It opened officially in March 1912. It was called at various times Bedlington East Senior Council School or Bedlington Station Senior Council School. (As its records were inherited by Bedlington Station County First School, any study of the school should also refer to other records from the school, Ref: CES/30,36).

  12. I could have this totally wrong @moe19 but I my memory says my mate, Alex Third, who went to St. Bede's once introduced me (about 1965-66) to a lad nicknamed Stash, about the same age as us ( 17 in 1965) and he was built like the 'Brick Shit House', compared to us. I'm sure Alex said he was heavily into weight training - they are No 3 & 4 in the c1953 class photo in this album. No 1 added @moe19 + Teresa Nicholson, Facebook Bedlington Remembered commented :- 'Think number 9 is Terry Nicholson, number 1 Sam Kidd? Number 11 John O Neil?'

  17. I'll send it to my cousin, No 22, and see if she can remember 'Skin'
  18. Mr Sparrow, father of John Sparrow, Facebook Bedlington remembered group) thinks No 7 is Wendy Fox.
  19. I prefer pubs but I suppose @lesmes gets his Topic back Has anybody noticed? By lesmes, February 23 in Chat Central
  20. @moe19 - reply from Eddie was :- 'Jim and Betty had a house in Wooler next to the Tankerville arms. The also had a property in Palma Majorca where they spent most times. They had a retirement party at the Pub which we all attended. Then a young lad from Crammy surname Davy. Eric's son who was a mate of mine took over the Pub for a short time. Then he left and it was boarded up. Before it went up in flames in the early hours. I watched it from my window in Hastings Tce. Aye suspicious to say the least. This is at the retirement party .with my impression of Betty with Barmaid Pauline. ps - I suppose we should now get back to Easter Eggs
  21. Eddie Hindhaugh posted the photo, middle right, as the night before the pub closed for good but he does not give the date. He does say the pub 'accidently' caught fire and burnt down in 1992. I've added a couple more, from Eddie, to the composition. The bottom left photo shows that poster you posted @moe19 and it had three names (Sugar, Ernie & Danny) with it but there are 4 in the photo so don't know which three are named. The bottom right shows another room, I think, of the pub.
  22. and the crap hanging from the ceiling :-
