Middle row 4th from the right --- is that Joan Timpany?

I have a feeling the girl 4th from right in middle row could be Stella Gregory. David Pilkington is 2nd from left on front row.

Yes Norman. It is David Sutton who was a very good maths teacher. He used to smoke like a chimney.

3rd right is my friend Joan Timpany

I never knew aspull had a secondary school. Where abouts was it. And what is there now. Any help Appreciated.

I left Aspull School in 72 it was a great school had some good laughs there.

Andrew, The school was on Ratcliffe rd, were all the recent new houses are.
I left Aspull at Easter 1970.
Teachers i can recall, Mr Firth, Betty Eastwood, George Seddon, John Wilkie, Mr Mathews & Fat Head.

I left Aspull Secondary in 1965 but I think the tall girl in the middle row is Carol Blinkhorn, If you ever watch nation on film I am the woman talking about school in the 60's also Mr Wardle who went to be headmaster at Rose Bridge, as I've lost my school Photo I would much appreciate if anyone has a copy to let me copy it in my class was Anne Barstow (now Charnock) Pat Hill, Jennifer Jones,Joan Gaskell Linda Deakin, Linda Barnes, Carol Armer,Shirley Thompson Maureen Webber, Maurice Evans Thomas Corfield, David McAndrew, Trevor Farrimond, Michael Coyle etc please if you have a copy let me know (my mum was the cook in charge Mrs Prior)

Oh my goodness, i just had a look at this.
I am in the middle of the back row, and my friend Kathy Wilson is next to me 2nd from the right.
The last time I saw her in 1986 she was living in Spain

The boy last on right middle row, is my cousin Graham Naylor who unfortunatley passed away a few years ago. Lovely boy

I remember quite a few faces on this photo.
I left Aspull in 66 having stayed to a 5th year.

My parents lived in Bolton Road and knew David Sutton and his wife well - he was dead within seven years of this photo: lung cancer.A really pleasant man; lived in Ashton in Makerfield, ex Royal Navy.

I also remember Mr Sutton, (never say "can I" , always say - "may I") he was a stickler for perfection, taught me practical drawing, sadly, I only realised just how good a teacher he was after I had left school, that was back in 1962.

Mr. Sutton, was a great teacher, brilliant mathematician and a totally great person, he taught me at Junior school, in New Springs and went up to Aspull with me when we all moved. He lived near my cousin in Ashton, and for his sins we dubbed him King Dithers, unfortunate nickname, but we loved him.

Can anyone name the boys on the front row?

Does anyone from this school know anyone from the caine family from st johns road.two sisters one was called irene and heryounger sister was called evonne.

To Ed:
I didn’t go to this school because I lived in Hindley but my mum, her siblings and my grandparents lived at 23 St John’s Road Aspull next door to Mrs Annie Caine and her daughters. I think Yvonne married a man by the surname of Brown, sorry can’t think of his first name. In the early nineties Yvonne and her husband had a shop on Market Street in Hindley, which sold bread, pies, cooked meats and roasted chicken. I think they may have lived in Hindley Green. I don’t know what happened to them after that. They were a nice family.
