Bedlington Lad in the News

Daniel Gooch now has a blue plaque at Windsor & Eton station in recognition of his transatlantic communication work.   
Daniel Gooch
Four Gooch brothers from Bedlington were big in railway engineering in Victorian times - see Daniel Gooch, John Gooch & Thomas Gooch on Wikipedia.   Grace's Guide details William Gooch & the fifth brother George Gooch, who was Lintz colliery manager & civil engineer,  living at Tanfield.

Perhaps Owen would add a comment to let us know why the Gooch family went to Bedlington ......
