History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Just off tack a bit but anyway here goes what reminds me of Wigan Grammar School between 1958-1963 was the fact that but for half of one point i could have ended up at that school. I sat my 11 plus not at the normal time because i was off school sick/ill so i had to sit mine in the summer holidays,by the way with a hell of a lot of other pupils who for one thing or another were in the same boat as me.
I attended ST.JAMES.ON POOLSTOCK LANE, NR THE BOLD PUB,It's something that haunts me to this day " WHAT IF""
HALF A POINT.So i ended up at HIGHFIELD SEC MOD have to say liked it in a funny way.
