Wigan Album

Great picture John - - my era at All Saints

Roy Jackson also taught at Moss Lane School in the early 50's. I think he taught history and music.

geoff yates (who now lives in perth w aus) will be in wigan at the end of august

I think the lad on the right of the front row kneeling is Alan Pedder, behind him standing maybe Arthur Tolley and standing behind him is David Johnson who had the chemists shop on Park Road. I think 6th from the left on back row is Alan Armstrong.

Roy Jackson taught English at All Saints when I was there and also ran the football teams (at least the younger ones). He took me to watch Bolton Wanderers at Burndeb Park to play Sheffield Wednesday. He did that with all his team members. Tommy Gore taught Geography when I was there. Derek Hurst was the History teacher and ran the rugby teams he also wielded a mighty cane, which I know to my cost and sore bum!). Mr Cutter was the music teacher and couldn't control his classes. Hursty's classroom was next door and I can remember him coming in to restore order! Used to train spot and the upstairs classrooms just gave you a glimpse of locos on the main line. Got into trouble for it too. I think Jock Shaw taught maths in between his stories.... "During the war" Maybe Uncle Albert from OFAHs got that line from Jock. Once I got 100% in an algebra test.... floored everyone that did. Maybe it was 1960/61 when the photo was taken. I did become a prefect but passed the 13+ and transferred to the Grammar School along with a few others on the photo too. Norman Passant and Daz Mason and David Gladwin from our house alone that I can remember
