Aileen, I assume are you the Aileen who lived on Victoria St? Good photo but which one is you? at a guess I`d say your seated on the front row in the middle of the two girls sat on the ground. Hope your keeping well.

I knew a Muriel Sutherland, who would be the same age, can anyone point her out? Her mother had a shop in Ormskirk Road.

I was just hoping if on this photo that if alan winstanley is still around could identify yourself please ,my reason being that when we started seniors you must remeber there were two of us and the teachers to stop getting mixed up would nominate us with 1 or 2 I was called alan winstanley 1, so you must be 2 which are you alan?????

I'm wondering whether this is the class my brother John Atherton would have been in for the secondary school. I remember him having a friend named John Aspinall.
