highfield infants school

Just thought i would ask to see if anyone on here went to to the infants school highfield the years i'm on about are between 1953 onwards to 1956/7 the teachers i recall were a MISS CHARNOCK , MR. ELLIOT im stuck after that as i say would be interested if any one was there during those years .G.B.

Was Mrs Elliot married to Mr Elliot

EEE BY GUM THATS A GOOD UN TOMMY i have no idea do you remember MISS CHARNOCK ?? Well before she passed i went to visit her she was in a residential place up passed monument upholland ,,there;s a pub resteraunt up there i went in they took me to her i gave a bunch of flowers i dont think she remembered me but it was well worth the visit she was a nice soul. Was DICKIE (DUSTER)GASKELL WED ? OH TOMMY do you aslo remember a mr.long? he had that big house next to school in autumn we would go into his garden clearing leaves etc , he came to a dodgy end (( little boys )

Bit sad there does not appear to be a lot of folk left from that period or they are not into wigan world pity i would have liked to chat with somebody from that era thats all keep hoping ...

I went to Highfield, I remember Miss Charnock well always well dressed. Mr Elliot was my headmaster I was there 1966 - 1973. I'm sure there is a group on Facebook about Highfield school, lots of memories.

Why thank you Highfield Lass ,Alas when i went to senior one it was all boys pity i would have liked to share with the girls ( oh i'm not being sexist am i ????) I will have a look on f/book , stay safe .G.B.

HIGHFIELD LASS ,,,
It's a very long time since we last spoke about people attending the INFANTS school at Highfield ,i am absolutely shocked at the lack of response we have had , I know for a fact that each class had on average close to 40 pupils per class YES 40 !! So when it comes to enquiring about our fellow class-mates i just don't understand the lack of interest.
CAN you tell me H/LASS do you know the year that the school further up from the infants became boys only ? As i said i went to the infants in 1952 Summer . until 1955 ,because we moved from Half-Way -House on Ormskirk Road to a brand new Council Home in August 1954 ,registered at ST.JAME'S ,Poolstock Lane C,E .IN 1958 I left and went to HIGHFIELD SECONDARY MODERN ,, I left there at CHRISTMAS TIME 1962 . My first job was an APPRENTICE BUTCHER. I had a short phase were i was not at HIGHFIELD due to the house move i would say about 18 months . I also appreciate a lot of people don't have nor have had any experience with computer's ,i suppose that could be one reason ,having said that i am still learning to use the new technology too!! So i sincerely hope this will jog someone's brain box ,,I HOPE !! GB.
