Maggie, question posted on Bygone Bedlington by a Michael Eastlake :- Hello I have seen many of the contributors to this group mention the LockeHall which was down front street East. Sadly disappeared before my time. Was wondering if it was in memorial of this gentleman William Ferguson Locke who's grave is in Bedlington (old) cemetery. From the size of the headstone and eloquence of the inscription, plus the fact it was paid by public prescription he was clearly well thought of. A schools attendance officer but anything else known about this gent. Do you know the answer?

The Fourteen Club - 1958
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) commented on Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s gallery image in Historic Bedlington
The response I got from one member on the Bedlington Remembered site when I posted the photo with 'UPPER REMOVE........' on was :- 'This was not upper remove as there are 4 different years on the photo! 1 Yvonne Brown, 2 Ann Oakley, 3 George Brewis 9 Christine Sutcliffe 11 George Mitcheson 12 ????Patterson (head girl 1959) 17 Linda Matthews' When I asked about the 'REMOVE' system the reply I got was :- 'Alan,I have already explained the system on other sites that you are involved with, I am not going to do it again.' So that was me told. When Allana came back with the year 1958 the reply from the member was :'and your mother was spot on, the penny has finally dropped. It was navy blue with the letters in gold. I still have that badge and hated it. Me and your mother were in the same class from infants at Nethertons, Nedderton junior, Guide Post (what a hell hole that was! I hated the place) then Westridge then we left school, never saw her again after that as I moved a foreign place called Newbiggin. Your mam lived up Clifton Row and I lived in Plessey Street. Sheesh, that is 55 years ago!' So from the above replies you will note that the informant is Allo Allo's Michelle Dubois! -

Me thinks the recent photos, Westridge & Vilage school should be in topics on their own. The Bedlington Village School 1950s photo is now in the Gallery under the Album - 'Historic Bedlington - Bedlington Village School' and comments can be made there. I will add the latest Westridge photo + extracts from the latest comments into the Gallery Album under the - 'Historic Bedlington - Westridge School - End of Term class photos' as soon as I can and it might make identification etc. easier. -
1950 Class 2

HPW & Vic(Doreen) - one name that is not mentioned is Thomas (Tucker) Holmes. His daughter, Christine Holmes, has been attempting to find an old school photo of him and she did post on this site asking about him. HPW replied saying that he and Tommy had gone to the same schools throughout their school life. Is Tommy in this photo? -

Westridge - End of term class photos
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)'s topic in History Hollow
HPW - George Mitcheson is a member of the Bedlington Remebered Facebook group and he has added some names to the latest photo. He did say that the photo was not Upper Remove as there are pupils from 4 different years on the photo. I replied to him saying I had no idea how the Westridge Remove system worked but had no further reply. Perhaps the answer is close to us - Bluebary or Canny Lass. I will do my best to get some more names for the Village School photo and I will (when the system allows me) add the photo, with names, into the Gallery - Historic Bedlington -Bedlington Village School album. I could pass the photo to Brian Redpath's niece but I have no idea if her uncle is still around. All the Westridge photos you have commented on, that have posted in various topics, plus a few from Facebook groups, have also been added to an album - Westridge School - End of term class photos. Update on the latest Westridge photo is - Allana that posted the photo is the daughter of No 9 Christine Sutcliffe. She says her mam has more photos so I asked her to post them :- -

HPW - would you like me to try and find out, from Bedlington Facebook sites Bygone Bedlington & Bedlington remembered, any more names or do you want this photo to stay on this site only? Otherwise HPW might be identified! Would you like the photo uploaded (when Admin sort out my current upload fault) into the 'Bedlington Village School' album on this site? If yes then with or without names added to the photo and No 1 labelled as H.P.W. ?
