If it had been located in Church (or any other of the old UDC's) it would have been called 'Church Grammar School' and still have provided its pupils with an excellent education. Although maybe Ian R White's education was a little lacking, if he thinks it was the town, where the school was located, rather than the school which gave him a secondary education. All the Grammar Schools (and the secondary modern schools) were run by Lancashire Education Commitee, so maybe he would be better saying it was Lancashire that gave him an excellent education.
