Old School Photographs from Blyth c.1950s, by Peter Loud

Old School Photographs, Blyth, 1950/60s

Peter Loud


I recently came across some old school photographs on which are some of my family and thought that they would make an interesting addition to my other old photos of Northumberland. No, these were not taken by me, most of them were taken by Geo. Holdsworth & Sons Ltd, Scholastic Specialists, Hartlepool.

I have tried to remember the names people in the photographs but have many uncertainties, my apologies if I got you wrong ;-(
[ ? ] indicates that I don't know the name. ? by itself indicates a missing name, or uncertainty of the preceding name.

That's me in the back row with a tambourine and an Elastoplast on my wrist. The drums in the middle were reserved for the petty middle class of Newsham.
The kid with a suit was the son of a local shop-keeper, the kid on the right was the son of the manager of the local flee-pit cinema.

A few days ago, June 2021, my brother-in-law, John Watson, gave me this photo. It looks like one the series of Newsham Junior School 1956.
Some of the faces are familiar but I am reluctant to put down the names as I might be wrong. If you can help with names please email me.
