    He will have to wait in line behind - Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub. Here is the clock, the Trumpton clock. Telling the time, steadily, sensibly; never too quickly, never too slowly. Telling the time for Trumpton.

    Brilliant - hard to work out what those two main characters grew up to be - dog handlers or car body repair technicians! Damian - I would assume you have no objection in the link to this video on your Youtube page being shared. There are a few ex Netherton residents on the Facebook groups - Bygone Bedlington & Bedlington Remembered that often ask if anyone has any old photos of colliery streets especially Plessey Street. What streets are they in the video? Eggy.

    Image labelled - 'Clifton Row in Netherton Village.............' published in the Journal, October 17th, 1992 - posted by Jim Hardy on Facebook group Bygone Bedlington. This image is of a 2 story row of houses, whereas the first image suggests a row of cottage style with the 2nd floor in the loft space.

    Q. What happens when Donald Trump takes Viagra? A. He grows taller. News Headline :- An earthquake with a strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale hit the Middle East. Two million Muslims died and 1 million were injured. President Trump, wanting to help as much as possible, is sending back 2 million replacement Muslims.

    Now for the throwing the spanner in the works bit Vic! Jim Hardy has now posted his list of names that he has sellotaped on the back of the original photo. Naturally jumping back a mere 66 years there are bound to be mix ups with some of the names and there are a few differences to what HPW and your good wife recalled. It's times like these when technology can be thrown out the window. We need a large table, print outs and all people concerned debating, and naturally some alcohol to fuel the debate. I have update the names and will add the revised edition + Jim's photo of the names to this comment. When Jim posted this photo he part of his comment was - 'Whitley Memorial junior 1950'. When I replied and said thank you for posting the original I added, diplomatically, - 'this is the Village School, isn't it?' He replied with the a one line comment - 'Whitley memorial junior 1950'. So even tho it says on the board within the photo 'BEDLINGTON VILLAGE INFANTS 1950 CLASS 2' Jim says different. I'm sticking with HPW and you. I'm still using my Desktop PC Vic, it's the only bit of hardware I have. Mine was purchased a mere 8 years ago, and the 19" screen + large keyboard is wonderful. Just got to hope they see me out! Now the pics - updates to Nos 9,10,11,12,16,19,21,24,25,27,41 & 42 - some just spelling, others a different name :-

    Vic - unfortunately - a photo of the original photo is what has been uploaded. I have added it here, without any numbers & names so you can get a 'clean' copy if you want one. If you want me to add the numbers & names to this one just say so and I will do it.
