This was found in my grandmother's photos and we know she was friends with some of the guys but nothing is known about the picture. Could anyone help?? My grandmother is Edna Alice Howard

Sherri, I could be wrong but I think it's the Wigan Grammar School (now the Linacre Centre) with Parsons Walk in the background

The photo seems to have been taken in the covered walkway between the science labs to the left and the library to the right

It is definitely Wigan Grammar School

Hi Ron. Does the building in the background look right for what would be Parsons Walk?
