The Grammar School was made subject of an article in Lancashire Life in the 1980s and the writer concentrated on the achievements of the 1954 intake. Thanks for posting this, Balbus - I have messaged you

 If memory serves me right, Wallwork, Virtue, and Tomlinson were also in that year ... not a bad bunch. The '57 intake probably has more degrees than a cartload of thermometers. Ben told me I wasn't university material; so, I bought my degrees through an ad in one of the supermarket tabloids.Last edited by Eric; 04-02-2016 at 14:31. |
