Yep - proof reading after my 'sped' typing should be a must. 

@Canny lass - from the names you have given I do remember bringing up the fact that my sister-in-law, Betty Hall, was identified by you in one of the class photos. I can't find any photo with Betty named on it so it must have been this one. I could either say a) it was my memory that had failed and I hadn't totally forgot to do anything with the photo or b ) we were in that transitional period on this site when I was having numerous fails attempting to load photos and when Andy sorted out the problems my memory had still failed to remember what I had been doing!

So while everything, including my short term memory, is working your list of names added to the photo    

Numbers added and I haven't attempted to guess a name - all yours. I have a copy prepared to enter the names on.

No 27 could be Kathy Bellatkin, says No 3 -  Ernie Armstrong.

No 18 Robert Lees not John Lees & No 32 Mary Blake - names from Ernie Armstrong - Facebook group Bedlington remembered

No 28 Jennifer Berkeley from Alan Scott - Bygone Bedlington 

Alan Maguire says No 24 definitely Peter Smith
