Albion.
You mentioned Norman Cherrington being on the photo, do you mean the Norman Cherrington that later played for Wigan R.L.or was there another Norman Cherrington going to St Williams at that time (1953).Norman Cherrington who later played for Wigan had already left All Saints school in 1953, so he's somewhat older than the boys on this photo.

The boys name was Norman Sharples not Cherrington.

I would have played for the rugby team 1957-58 that would make me 4 or 5 years younger than Billy Fleetwood but I thought I was quite a bit younger than that, much nearer to his brother Peters age

Peter is 5 years younger than Bill Fleetwood.
