Susie may be right-school uniform generally even in 1967,so were they pictured before or after a trip? The open necked shirts with big collars should give a clue, I'm guessing the sixties.Garinda is the fashion guru, perhaps he can date it?

Re: old boys
 

Hair too short for 1960's, even under Ben's draconian regime and jacket styles all wrong...and if Big Jim looked like that in the '60's, he must have discovered the exilir of eternal youth! 1940's, believe me!

Re: old boys
 

It's harder to date mens'/boys' clothes, as they don't change in style, as often as womens'.

Going off the shirt collars, and haircuts, I'd hazard a guess at between 1948-52.

Re: old boys
 

I reckon pre-1950 Don't actually remember any class photographs being taken, only the panoramic whole school ones.
There was definitely only one colour blazer in the period '50-'55 - black with red piping

My broadband has been down for a couplew of weeks, so I have not looked at Accyweb. I've missed this great thread./
The first photo was taken end of term 1949 - Big Jim Hanrahan's class with Lister St ijhn the background. This was the last year before the new uniform was introduced. I think that a letter 'A' can be detected on one lad's jacket.
The other photo, with Gordon Booth top left is 1959. Colin Sellers (RIP) is back top right. Peter Butler is centreish. I cannot trace him but think he may live in Bury area.
At the Old Boys events now, the president wears a prefect's cap from this period, and last year's president wears a cap as worn then by everyone else. I cannot help with the 1967 photo. Not wearing a cap brought a detention.

One year out!

Re: old boys
 

What at Accrington Grammar School?

Re: old boys
 

Yes. Your brother is in the full 1967 photograph.

Re: old boys
 

I widened my goal, to '48 - '52.

So I could boot it right into the corner of the net.

You bin listening to Ken Bruce, Wynonie ? :D x

Re: old boys
 

Pardon my ignorance, Kate, but who's Ken Bruce?

Re: old boys
 

Hahaha, Wynonie. Ken Bruce is a Radio 2 presenter and runs this pop quiz. Usually, there is a question whereby he asks the contestants what year were these tunes in the charts.

It's amazing how many are just out by a year and Ken says this: "One Year Out !" Become quite a catchphrase.
