Left side of the photograph , the elderly man with the moustache I think he was the Headmaster a Mr Marsh. I remember him sitting at a large desk on a raised platform. This would be around 1930. The photo of the lady teachers has Bill Blackledge at the end of the row. It was my impression that he was more interested in Rugby League than academics and I think that several students of my year played for England

I think the boy standing in 3rd row from front, 3rd in from right looking at the pic is my grandad james mawdsley - he would be 13 when this was taken

Albert Curran was my uncle. I think he is on the 4th row back, 2nd on the left, just in front of the teacher.

Pam Tyler, I have just seen your comment. If my Grandad was your Uncle, are you one of his Sisters children or his Brother
