Memories of Tyne and Wear
Wilma Rutherford
Does any one have any memories of a Wilma Rutherford? She was a friend of my mother's and I would love to hear any memories of her.
Mgt Watson
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.
Grassy Bridge
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.
Brown Rigg
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.
