This is me 4th from the left on the 2nd row from the front. I too remember most of the names of the class. Where has time gone and where have we all ended up ! How many of us are still in the Wigan area.

My brother John Francis McNulty is on the back row 5th left.We lived near Ann Sidebotham and went to a birthday party at her house bringing a box of chocolates as a present. I handed the gift in which was left on a table-I opened the chocs and helped myself to quite a few before they were moved out of my sight. Sorry Ann obviously jelly and ice cream just didn't do it for me at the time. Many happy memories of Wigan.We arrived from Ireland when we were all young and lived in Wigan for 11 or 12 years .

Hi, sorry I said that my older brother Gerard was on this picture. He is on the 11 plus class one which I'm also on. My younger brother William should have been on this one but for some reason he's missing.
