thanks fred for filling us in with the names i think you have named most of them. its nice to look back on these old photos

Thanks from me too Fred,the photo shoot is now complete

I have the original copy of this photo, haven’t looked at my old pics for years but have now so I’ll post a few on the site, not many from school days but a few from my pit and band days.

joe,will look out for your pit & band photos, who knows I may be on one or two as we were both NCB trainees at the same time, Low Hall & the Elms on Wigan Lane

I wonder if any one beside me in this photo is still alive and kicking. I am now 81..

My dads still knocking around, he's Joe Green.

Just looking at the school photo, pure nostalgia, how time flies, I am now 85 yrs old, still alive, but not kicking very much these days.

Re Minnie Picton's picture, I wonder if anyone of the pupils like myself is still in the land of the living. Also, I wonder what happened to Woodentop?
