Wigan Album

Hiya Keith, where exactly was the Park lane Unitarian school?, I know where the Park lane Unitarian chapel is,... It's next door to the Park Hotel at Landgate. So, am I to assume that we're talking about the same building here ? If that's the case, then I'm obliged to admit that I never knew there was a school on the same site. My excuse ?, well, apart from being thick, I'm not from Bryn. The photos are brilliant by the way, any idea who the photographer was ?

Regards. Ozy.

Hi Ozzy,

The school is at the back of the chapel. It is still used for a variety of functions and kept in a good state of repair by volunteers.
The photos were commissioned by Mr Graves and were given to me by his elder daughter Valerie a couple of years ago.
My mother, sister and myself were pupils at the school and all three of us have fond memories of our time there.
The next photo I post will show the date as 1955.

My father was in the RAF and we spent some time with my grandparents on the Landgate estate. I attended the Park Lane school behind the chapel for a short time. Does anyone remember me....
