Just now, Joe McNally said:
I thought no.17 looked a bit like me (Joe McNally) but obviously not. Jimmy Burke (No.18) is my cousin but I don't think we were in the same class. I would have been 8 years old at the time and Miss Onscavich was my first teacher in 1950.
@Joe McNally- I didn't attend St. Bedes but Alex Third - No 3 in the photo - was my mate and the same age as me - I was born Oct 1948. I know when we were teenagers I met the lad 'Stash' = No 4, a couple of times. A big lad for his age and I think his christian name was Stan and I think he had a polish surname.

Anne Donaghy (Facebook) - thinks Nos 6 & 7 are the Riley twins.

Thats ok about the Bedlington Remembered Facebook site. By the way the photo had 1961 written on it but looks to be a later addition.
Cheers Rigger

@Rigger thanks - I will add it into the Bedlington Grammar School Album. If you like I could also post it on the Bedlington Remembered Facebook group site and see if we can find out what year it was?
Pupils that started after passing the 13+ exam would start in the 'X' stream = class 3X and those that had passed the 11+ would be in 1A or 1α (Alpha). After the 1st year the 2nd year classes were 2A & 2B and then up to 5A & 5B. After the 5th year anyone staying on to sit 'A' levels, from 5A, %b & 5X would start the 6th Form in the Lower 6th and then the Upper 6th for their last year.

You have the year for this photo as 1961. As the normal time for a class photo to be taken would be June or July at the end of the school this photo would have to be for year 2 upwards. I started the school in September 1960 and I can't remember any of this lot, but that's nothing unusual for me.

@Rigger - do you want your photo added into the Bedlington Grammar School 'Album' (page 2 of Historic Bedlington)
or do you just wish to leave it free standing in Historic Bedlington?
Only the person that created the Album can 'Add Images' as a new entry into that album. However other members can add photos and comments to an existing Image in an album created by another member.

@Richard Allan - posted this info on The Alam Inn :- 'My great grandfather owned the Alma Inn and some cottages in Glebe Row. I have a copy of the valuation for probate dated 1935. The property was finally sold by the family in 1947.'

Marilyn & Bob Muter, off the Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!! Facebook group have posted a full photo, that has not been flipped, and the names from the flipped image have been added. Previously it was thought that the fancy dress event was for the Queen's coronation in 1953 but now as more of the kids, and their approximate ages, have been established this photo was c1949.
