Good one bri, i remember a lot of those people nice to see them so young.

Great picture Brian, it was Jacqueline Catterall next to Christine Sudworth. Was it Gillian Woodcock? Looks like you've had it folded up in your pocket all these years LOL! I remember Mrs. Wilson very well.

Hi Whups, great photo I am Geoff & Shirley's sister too and you've really got me pondering you're identity, especially when you say you only lived 5 doors from us!! give us another clue ... can't ask our Geoff yet cos he's in Canada visiting his daughter

Sorry just dawned on me who you are Brian ... takes a bit longer for things to register nowadays! lol .. I didn't realise you never took your 11 plus .. how r u doing these days!

hiya kath , yep never took my 11+ as i was in wrightington for almost 2 yrs & by the time i got out it was just leaving time at the rectory . thought i,d put this on as a reminder because you never know there dropping like flies recentley. was with your jeff the other week at craig duffy,s funeral . how,s things in yorkshire . everything still the same in d/green.

Well done Brian! Being a lowly 'Bryner' I'm not on the photo but my little Jenny was on it! Not seen her younger photos for a while as she had very few taken as a child. My wife Jenny died of Breast Cancer over 12 years ago now and both our son and daughter; and I still miss her very much!She never saw her grandchildren but would have been so proud! Does anyone have any memories of Jenny to share? Thanks Brian, you're a star! Eric Greenhalgh

The name Julie Colquitt brings back happy memories. I visited their house to service her mums sewing machine and Julie and I ended up dating for a while. Halcyon days!

I think this will have been 1960 or 61 .. Class 1 or 2 ... we had two teachers in Class 1 ... one of them was Mrs Wilson, Frank's Mum. She also took us in Class 2. We were all born in 1954 or 55.
