I remember a lot of these ladies. I left Whitley the previous year(1975). We were the first boys to attend Whitley when it became a comprehensive school in 1972.

I can just about make Gillian Seddon out on the photo, she was in my tutor group (Mrs Lowe nee Phillips). Sian Hoyles mother was my English teacher.

I know all those faces but can't remember the names, what a blast from the past. I live on the other side of the world in Australia, and it takes me right back to Wigan looking at these photos

Hi everyone - brings back really fond memories and I don't think I ever got a copy of this at the time. I can still remember all of you even though I've lived in Rotherham for the past 20 years!
