Have to keep bumping this thread up somehow:-
Inane letter in Obsever replying to Keith Ellel's excellent letter disapproving of the proposed name change in last week's edition. An Ian R White of
'Langho' comments that he was disappointed to read Keith's content stating that some of us were fortunate to have received a secondary education at 'Accrington' Grammar school, including Keith (1949-56).
What has this got to do with a bunch of soldiers ?!!
Don't know where Keith lived then; lives Rishton now, but makes it sound like the people of Accrington provided an education for the lower 'Districts' and we should all be grateful ...
