I cannot remember Bert being in the lamp room when I was there 1956 - 1959 the man I recall was David, but I cannot think of his surname. You've given us yet another interesting topic Ron, well done.

Aubrey. We never stopped in the lamp room long enough to converse with anyone. I have no knowledge of this gentleman. Went to school with an Alfred Bradburn. He lived in Cemetery Lane, Spring View.

I do remember Hughie Bradburn from Warrington Road, Abram, who certainly resembled Bert, any relation?
