Although I went to Moss Lane in the early 50's some of the faces are familiar expecially Mrs Byron who taught English. Mr Rimmer was the Headmaster in the 50's. Would be lovely to see more photo's of the old school. There must be some out there, hopefully!

Hi Brenda. Only just seen your comment on this photo. I have left a comment on the other one. It seems ages since I first put the picture on and hardly anyone has responded. I think I remember you. Did you have at least one other sister? It would be nice to hear from anyone who was there when we were. I keep checking every now and then just to see if anyone else has made comment. All the best.

My sister Maureen Graham attended this school in the late 40s or early 50s then we moved to Rochdale in 1953, sadly she passed away in 1991 aged 52, we lived at 572 Liverpool Rd, I went to St Nats primary.....

I just saw your posting Graham, my gt grandparents Beesley lived at your address from 1900's. Great Grandma Beesley died in 1941 but was living farther down Platt Bridge at the time.
