Thanks from me too Fred,the photo shoot is now complete
I have the original copy of this photo, haven’t looked at my old pics for years but have now so I’ll post a few on the site, not many from school days but a few from my pit and band days.
joe,will look out for your pit & band photos, who knows I may be on one or two as we were both NCB trainees at the same time, Low Hall & the Elms on Wigan Lane
I wonder if any one beside me in this photo is still alive and kicking. I am now 81..
Just looking at the school photo, pure nostalgia, how time flies, I am now 85 yrs old, still alive, but not kicking very much these days.
Re Minnie Picton's picture, I wonder if anyone of the pupils like myself is still in the land of the living. Also, I wonder what happened to Woodentop?
