Accrington Web - View Single Post - My early life in Accy 1946-68

Just logged in after a rather long absence from the Accy Web. I couldn't help but feel more than a twinge of nostalgia when I read about Central Prep School. I was a pupil there from 1956 to 1963 and after taking the dreaded 'Scholarship' (11 plus) went to St Mary's College, Blackburn.
The teachers' names ring very loud bells: Miss Caulfield, followed by Mrs Kilshaw; Miss Backhouse (my favourite); Miss Hackwood (the terror of many).
