They didn't leave a name.  The message originated from Guildford if that's any help.

I'ts just I like to credit the person(s) who have named anyone in the photos otherwise people might think I knew everyone who ever went to school in Bedlington 

@threegee No 30 updated. Do yo know the name of the person that added the comment that was sent to the moderator?   

@jfk - added your info to your photo. If you name the others in the photo and the year it would have been taken I will add that to your photo.

@jfk is that behind Tait's ice cream shop in Choppington or behind Tait's shop, Glebe bank, Bedlington?

Denis Keenlyside, cambois Facebook group, named No 5 as his dad.

@jfk members of the Choppington Remembered group named a few of the buildings in your photo so I added your photo to a shot of the 2021 Google street view -  'Then & Now' image :-

One member, David Tait, thought he recognised a couple of them in your photo  :-

No.its Choppington 1963

 

Is that Richardsons Buildings on the left of your photo?

@Alan dickson says there was no Blanch Butchart in his year and it is definitely Una Tiffin.

@jfk - is this Bedlington? I can't place that road

Beatty Road - June 1953 - can't remember anything about it or the outfits my brother Dennis and I were wearing

Update from Elizabeth Armstrong, Bygone Bedlington group, who said :- 'number 36 is not Una Tiffin but my sister Blanche Butchart xx'

No 28 updated :-

No 15 updated - info from 

No 8 corrected from Docherty to Doherty - Jimmy's niece told me.

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
