Northumberland memories

George Fraser/Frazer

Does anyone know of a George Frazer/Fraser who lived in Acomb. I think he was a butcher and was good friends with my mum.
Any information
Thanks

Wilma Rutherford

Does anyone have any memories of Wilma Rutherford? I know she lived in Acomb around the 1960s. She was my mother. I would be grateful for any momory no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to you. What was she like? Who was she friends with? etc. Thank you in anticipation.

I attended this school somewhere around 1955-1957. Does anyone remember those years especially if you were in Pennine house dormitory?
Teachers as I remember were Bradbury, Barker & Craig for the girls dorms and Commander and Mrs Redman were the Heads [I think]!

My Happy Years

I attended Brownrigg from 1980 - 1985. I look back on those years with great joy (all though not at the time), throughs long summers and endless winters. I made a great many friends. I sometimes wish I could turn the clock back. I especially remember the teachers and staff, Mr Walton (headmaster), crazy man, Mr Bell (minty), hard but fair, Mr Main the next headmaster, Mr Barker music teacher), and my old foe Mr Jameson (maths teacher), always catching me having a smoke. As for the staff there was Harry and Hilary (caretakers), Sandra in the kitchen, and my old mate Roy (sparrow ) Desmond who has sadly passed away. I will look back on those years with great fondness. I have many happy memories to look back on, far too many to mention. People who read this may not recognize my name but they may remember my nickname (CHIPPY), regards, Michael Imrie.

Hello I attended Brown Rigg from 1960-1965. My best memories are the horses and the Sunday afternoon rides around the countryside, do you remember Bent Toe? The hours trying to learn side saddle. The hikes to Grassy Bridge? I have lived in Canada now for 34 years and have returned to Bellingham to visit and remember the memories of this place where I spent so many years.

I attended Brown Rigg only for a short period of time in 1972, Sept-Dec I recall, so not many pupils from that time might remember me, maybe for being very disruptive. I think I held the record for absconding the most times in such a short period of time, it wasn't that I didn't like the place, it was a personal battle with Mr Butchard the School Board Officer, he would bring me back, I would abscond, once hanging on the back of his car as he drove off towards Hexham. I was just a rebellious child, unfortunately I was finally slowed down by being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and then Cancer but I still have my memories, my health can't take them. Just wondering if anyone does remember me, I've no doubt the headmaster Mr Walton would remember, I think I gave him plenty problems in my short time.

Happy School Days
