Re: accrington High School 1960-1966
I also left in 1959, but that was after spending an additional year in the sixth form before going on to Uni. I wanted to take German and needed the extra time to bring it up to scratch. I do remember Miss Mottershead - a real eccentric, but a good teacher - I am very grateful to her. The dreaded Mabel is another story. I actually had to have a fight with her before she would let me take the courses I wanted. She was a bully - but I don't give in to bullies!
Can't say it was my favourite time of my life, but on the other hand I have a lot to thank the school for. I wouldn't be where I am now without the education I got there. I am just sorry that I have lost touch with all the people I knew at school, even those who were at the time my "best friends".
I've lived "down South" for most of my adult life now, but I still think of Accy as my "home town".
Anyone remember me?
