Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Cheers Terry - Margaret Speller had posted both sides of the photo on Bygone Bedlington site and when I saw the name Terry Foote on the back I remembered you had just commented on one of Jane Muckian's Westridge photos but I hadn't realised the photo came from your collection. There was a comment, on the Bygone Bedlington site, by a Colin Sim and it was :- " 10 is Peter Low not George and 20s first name was Ivy". Do you agree with that ? If it's Ok with you I will add your photo to the Gallery Album :- Westridge School - End of term class photos.

Terry Foote - this one has just been posted on Facebook in the Bygone Bedlington group and the names I have added were written on the back of the photo. Can you confirm the year & class name and add any more names ?

Terry & CL - the photo in the Gallery has been updated. Along with your updates quite a few more names added.

Just got 1 more injury to inflict and then I will have the set, apart from the 3 that result in no more adventures!

Vic - John Krzyzanowski, Admin on the Facebook Bygone Bedlington site, works at Woodhorn Museum, searched the old news papers and found this story on the damage to the cross in 1938 :-

One day I will read through all 62 pages, again or use the 'search' facility! Bet the one about simple Tommy at The Market Place club Go-as-you-please night is not in the 62 pages.

Yes but I'll save them for another day. How about :- So this teacher is teaching her junior school class, and she's telling them that the word of the day is 'contagious.' She asks if anyone can use this word in a sentence, and several people stick up their hands. "Carl," she says. Carl says, "My dad told me to stay away from kids with mumps,'cause they're contagious." "Very good," says the teacher. Then she picks Suzie, who says, "The atmosphere was contagious," and the teacher says, "Excellent, Suzie!" Then she notices that Little Johnny has his hand up, at the back of the class. "Yes, Johnny?" she says. Johnny says, "The other day, me and my dad's a-sittin around, and we saw our blonde neighbor painting her fence. She had a tiny little model car paintbrush, and she was going in tiny little strokes up and down the fence, and my dad says to me, "Jesus, it's gonna take that c**t ages to finish that fence."

CL - have you got 14 mates?

Foxy has a photo, dated the 60's, of the old houses just before the Coffin Chapel, in the Gallery Album - Historic Bedlington / Days Gone Around the Town. It's on page 2, 3rd from the end. My dad, Adam Edgar, worked at Hugh Bolckows in the late 60's. You've got me scratching me head now, Albert Hooper - possibly an occasional pint in the Percy Arms?

mais oui - nuits sans sommeil et des rêves humides.
