From your initial comment I am sure you have done loads of searching on the www only to find there's not a lot you can do, even if the owner of the gun is not following the NFU guidelines. I know complaints take ages to get seen and normally the response to the majority of complaints is 'current guidelines are not being broken etc. etc' but I still think it's worth you, and every other resident in the area, filling in a complaint and requesting the noise levels of the gun be measured to ensure they are within current NCC/Eu/NFU/...... guidlines. Attached the West Riding Guidelines extract from their PDF document as it's often handy to use/copy council words when complaining.

Never found anything on the www to suggest a previous site. Just the info in Wikipedia about the new community school that gives a bit of history :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedlingtonshire_Community_High_School Thought the site the ex head boy, Mansel Dinnis, created would have had some facts but it's all photos, the earliest from the 40s : - http://www.sempersursum.co.uk/ I'm just a www searcher - never been to the Woodhorn Museum and Northumberland Archives :- http://www.experiencewoodhorn.com/ -

Bay An uncle on mine, born Beatty Road, Bedlington, 1938 said the story about the Monkey in the window was not true. However tThe Barrington Arms got a paragraph in Issue No 138 - February/March 2014 of The Northumbrian - Gordon Wilkinson (journalist I think) on a subject 'How a Pub makes a name for itself' has written :- ...... However a look in the window of the Barrington Arms in Bedlington during the Second World War could have brought good news to those fancying a pint. Beer was rationed in those days but it could be in short supply , so the landlord would stick a stuffed monkey in the window to tip off those in the know that he had received a consignment. The pub has been named the nicknamed The Monkey ever since.' -------------------------- No mention of where he got the story from.

Just checked on Live CL and there appears to many young ladies coming out of the newsagents and saying - Goochie Goochie Goo to small persons in carriages. Can't find anything online, even for his final resting place in Clewer, Windsor. There is a Bedlington lad, Ryan Hogg (don't know if he is related to Adam that started this topic), that has a Facebook group for Daniel Gooch and there are a couple of links, to another group and a blog, but that's all I can find. https://www.facebook.com/groups/486966338172814/ https://sirdanielgooch200.wordpress.com/2016/07/25/see-more-about-daniel-gooch-reaching-200/ http://wp.me/p7KpoX-3 https://www.facebook.com/gooch200/

At least at the start of the term :- The 22 boys would have sat and looked at the moon, the stars, the lakes, rivers, flowers, animals and everything else which God had created and they would have understood the world. However the female company would soon have complicated that simple outlook on life those boys had before nature rose to take its course, and initiate the following sequence of lfes emoticons .lol
