Brings back memories. Lots of faces that I recognise but cannot put names to because its been long time . Good mate of mine is on midle row second from left Christopher Dean, used to live near Tupperware now Milliken. The teachers name is on the tip of my tongue. Can anyone put the names to the faces?
The girl next to Christopher Dean is called Karen but don't know her surname. The girl next to her is Anne-Marie Berry and Shirley Alker is next to Anne-Marie.
The lad on the 3rd row back 2nd in on the right is Christopher Ashurst

We should have a 30 year reunion on the front where the school path used to be the ice cream man who sold pies? Anyone interested?
I don't think this is 85 as Christopher Ashurst was in the same year as me and I left in 84
I was one of last to go it was knocked down when I went
I was in that class ,not on the photo.It was 1984.
Shirley actually died on the 26th of October Anne Marie. 4 years today.
Gosh! Blast from the past!.. remember having this photo taken with my good friend karen bird. All we use to do is laugh. Good times!.. i rember you alan norburn you lived near me.
It was definitely 1984, I remember you Nobby. Also recognise most faces and Kenny Corden. Hope you are all well.
I'm next to teacher front row short hair was Nadine Barr and next to me is Valerie Adams
I was a teacher here in the late 1980s and my son and daughter were pupils Andrew and Julie and had a great time here. On Friday afternoons in June after school we would go in my brown Austin Maxi to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and enjoy ourselves in the Stockingfeet Funhouse, and riding on other amusements until the park closed, off to a chippy then back home to Hindley. Great memories.
Hated this school with a vengeance, I was class 1984, not this class, but i remember a few on the photo. There was so much bullying going on this school and teachers taking no notice. Most awful school i ever went to.
Lynda, I agree. I spent three desperately unhappy years here, before my family moved out of the area.
It was nothing but a breeding ground for bullies.
This was 85...Paul and I are back row...the twins...remember all the faces it's just names...Read through this post and put some of your names to faces I though Colin B was in our year so not sure why he is not in the picture...
