My last proper school was Rhyddings. We had to go to Moor End in Ossy which was quite a walk from Pendle Street. Mum and Dad never even for a nano second thought of walking us to the school. Me and Dave Gaffney who lived next door went on our own on our first day!!!! 11 years old mind. Turned up in the yard and waited for lord knows what??? Someone came out, told us what class we were in and that was it for the next 4 years until Pilkington Bros.
