Sports Field, Northumberland College of Education
Football pitch at Northumberland College of Education playing at home in the yellow strips. Wednesday afternoons were always given over to sporting activities although everyone didn't participate. I always assumed those who didn't would rather study.

Former Cottage Home and Student Accommodation
This former Cottage Home was known as RA during my teacher training days and where I spent my second year 1966 – 67. I shared a room with Ken Morley (Reg Holdsworth) eventually of Coronation Street fame --- I wonder if it’s worthy of a Blue Plaque?
It’s now sold by Bellway as “The Listed at Ottermead” and each semi are priced at about £750,000. The Cottage Homes were supposed to be “listed buildings” four have been demolished to make way for new builds.
