From the album: Bedlington Grammar School
The school Latin motto - Semper Sursum - translated in Google will return 'Always Up'. As far as I remember we were told, by the school, it translated to 'Ever Upwards'. The school wall plaque has the date 1925 but the school, info says it opened in 1926. The school anthem was written by one of the teachers, Miss Edna Humphrey, in 1946. -

Village school c1930 - comment by Maureen Quait :- 'If that is the Infant School yard in the foreground it must be before they built the air raid shelter' & Lawrence Pattison commented :- I would think that the air raid shelters would have been built in 1940 [That was when the air raids started]. -

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.
