  13. Emily Wilding Davison

    Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Maggie/915's topic in History Hollow
    Don't know why they should be ashamed of her - it was Emily's choice. Many will disagree with many different protests and protesters but that's their choice.

    1955, when ITV started broadcasting, is when our family got the rediffusion TV installed. Prior to that it was three families of cousins- Derek, Dennis,me, Una, Leita, Martin, Mary & John that invaded granny Henderson's in Beatty Road to watch kids TV. I can't remember the 1953 coronation and I'm sure there will be sporting events broadcasting at the same time this 2023 is on air

    @Keiren Scott I checked @Frank Fletcher's profile to see when he last visited this group. The last time he logged in was the same day he joined and the same day, 3rd June 2020, he posted the comment you are referring to.

  25. Bedlingtonshire Community High School

    Images added to a gallery album owned by Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) in Historic Bedlington
    Entry under History in Wikipedia states :- 'It was founded in 1926 as Bedlington Secondary School for the areas of Bedlingtonshire, Ashington and Newbiggin, being built next to Bedlington railway station. Subsequently it became Bedlington Grammar School, before turning comprehensive in 1974. It gained Maths and Computing College status in 2009. I would add - the Secondary Modern School merged with the Grammar School to create the High School. The new build + the old grammar school remained until a new High School was built, on the existing grounds, and opened in 2016.
