Thanks @James - I couldn't find that map - I should have copy of it saved but I must have deleted it 😁

@James & @Symptoms - the oldest map I can find with the Top End Mechanics Institute named is an 1896 map, National Library of Scotland, and it shows the building named at what us now the community centre. The 'Old Maps' site has now moved, taken over by 'Landmark Estate Agency Services' and you can't access the maps unless you join. So the only maps I use now are from the National Library of Scotland. Don't know if @Canny lass has access to other maps.

@jim l - unfortunately I can't help you with the where about's of Ivan McBride but I could give you telephone numbers for the Bedlington Care Homes. Do you still live in Bedlington? Have you got access to the contact telephone numbers of the care homes in Bedlington?
Tidying out the photos I have added names to and came across this one but I haven't kept a note of who posted it and on what group. Searched the local Facebook groups I am a member of but can't find it so I am assuming it was from a FB group I am no longer a member of = Bedlington remembered.
