Bobby Charlton's childhood Holy Bible, 240-page, the leather bible with HOLY BIBLE in silver on spine, on the inner cover bearing R. CHARLTON in ink and pen, with signature in pencil, with information for school classes Form IX, Form IIB and possible teacher's names Miss Hope, the inside back cover bearing address for 114 Beatrice Street, Ashington, North'd and Chuck [Bobby's nickname] Charlton Form 2B Room II in blue ink, hand written script on inner back pages possibly by Charlton; come with Halba Travel Ltd (Sir Bobby Charlton, a Company Director) letterhead relating to the authenticity of the bible, condition is fair to good with wear to cover, spine and inner pages 114 Beatrice Street, Ashington, Northumberland, was the childhood home of Sir Bobby Charlton and his elder brother Jack. They both attended Hirst North Primary School. Bobby later attended Morpeth Grammar School before famously experiencing his first 'football transfer' after it was realised that it was a rugby school. With the help of his parents and his primary school headmaster Mr James Hamilton, who was aware of Bobby's talent, they managed for Bobby to attend Bedlington Grammar. Remarkably, this bible was bought in the 1980s at a jumble sale organised by Remploy in the Blackfriars area of Salford, Greater Manchester. The buyer bought the bible entirely unaware of the inscriptions and was alerted to the potential significance by her son, before writing to Sir Bobby Charlton's company Halba Travel Ltd. for confirmation. So a truly serendipitous discovery.
