Thanks Martin, I have a better photo of the cobbles somewhere, will try and find it.
Remember this well had my last lessons in this hut before my adventure at secondary school.
I was in the old school in my 5th year of primary school the rest was spent in the newer one.. was in the brownies too which was help in one of the huts.
The house on the right - 20 Higher Lane was where my grandad William Winstanley lived and my uncle Bill
I presume all of you remember the teachers from the 1950s ... Mrs Selsby, Mr Blinston, Mr Ramsey, Miss Livesey and headmaster Mr Bamforth??
I can remember some of the teachers in the 60s, Mrs Selsby remarried and became Mrs Hall, then there was Mr Green, Mr Hart the headmaster, Mrs Edwards nee Williamson?, Miss Gladwin, Miss Starkey, Mrs Wilkinson, Mrs Parker, Mr Dobson, Mrs Holcroft nee Bradshaw, or was it the other way around. I also seem to remember a Mrs Parry and a Mrs Winstanley who may have been there a short time.
MMMM Miss Starkey that brings back some memories. Didn't hit it off with her at the beginning as I was a little bugger. Mainly a torment, not liked....lol. Live and learn...still doing that. Remember clearing the snow from top to bottom in the 60's , then giving out the milk to my class mates. Good times.....
