Although I didn't go to Rose Bridge School, some of my friends from Ince Central Primary School did, and I remember the building shown was where they went for Cookery lessons.
The building on the right was also used for metal work.I went to spring view secondary modern and we went there for metal work in the mid 60s.
Gary is the loco a class 40
C'mon gibo, behave yourself. Stop starting.
Irene,left Spring View School 1963 we used those Building's for Metal Work 1962/3.Can't remember name of Teacher think he came from Rose Bridge.
When we had metal work we went to
a school in HINDLEY green,from spring view on the 1964_64 does any body remember which shool it was?
This looks like a class 44, Heading for Hindley.
A 'Peak' coming through Ince...A rare treat.
Brian Mc: Thanks for posting Brian at least the kids from Ince had iron in their diet.
Harold Dickinson was the woodwork teacher,he lived in Meadway.Lovely chap.
went here for woodwork lessons from holy famly platt bridge in my last year i made a drop- leaf side table out of oak which we are still using today.its 59 years old.is this an antique?
I can't make my mind up whether or not that fence is a little too tall to be constructed from old railway sleepers, although the one behind the house that I grew up in certainly was. Three hundred yards or more long and full of creosote, it lasted for well over half a century despite the occasional grass fire that occurred during the steam era. We used to climb on top of it to watch the DELTIC come through during it's trials in the late 50's. Most of it was replaced recently with that modern steel palisade fencing that you see everywhere.
Still used foe metalwork when I left rose bridge 1974
The classroom was used for Arts And Crafts for the girls not cookery, Rose Bridge had two well equipped Domestic Science classrooms for cookery at the school. The Art teacher was Mrs Oddie, her son Stephen went to INCE CENTRAL school. The cookery teachers were Miss Murray and Mrs Clayton.
The locomotive is a Peak class 44, 45, or 46 that would be a rare sight in the Wigan area. The ususal route they were found operating was from London St Pancras to the East Midlands and Yorkshire.
