John Atkinson Pendlington (1861 - 1914)
John Atkinson Pendlington was the inventor of a linear scoring system for cricket before 1893. Pendlington was born in South Shields in 1861. He played cricket for the Tyne Dock Cricket Club and later for Benwell Cricket Club in the Northumberland League. Pendlington co-established Tyneside Electrical Supply Company in 1893, which later became the British Electrical and Manufacturing Company of Newcastle and London. He died in 1914 and is buried at St James's Church in Benwell. Pendlington is commemorated on a blue plaque on the Centre for Sports on West Road (the former site of the West Turnpike Cricket Ground, where Benwell Cricket Club played from 1886 to 1921).
