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 -

Photo from Lee Vallely Redshaw - names from the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group members.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.-

Can't remember the name @Heather White. I lived in the Oval area of Bedlington in the 1950's and 60's. Remember a couple of Nesbitt's from school but they were Edward (Teddy) Nesbitt from Barrington, went to Barrington CP school up to 1960, and Dennis Nesbitt from west Sleekburn. both of then went to Bedlington grammar school from 1960 - Teddy finished school in 1965 and Dennis finished in 1967.
