I wonder if this is the Woodfield School at Whiteley, near St Clements Road ? It looks like the old house I remember. I went there for a short time in the 1940s.

Yes Helen it is. The old building was demolished unfortunately. I went there in the '50's

Spoken to Billy recently, with him in Oz 2008, grand lad.

Roy, does Billy still live in Wigan? Are you an ex Woodfielder yourself?

Hi Graham, no I'm not a Woodfield lad, a St Michaels lad I was. Billy lives somewhere near what was the Bleachworks in Standish.
