Balshaw's Grammar School

[TerryJ]

I'm mystified about the GBH too - Brian Leatherbarrow taught me Science in my first year but left to teach elsewhere - I met him again in the late 70's , he was a lecturer at Chorley Teacher Training College . He was divorced at the time and eventually married a girl in the same group as my wife . He has lived in Bolton for the last 30 years and died last year .

Sure it was him John ?

You all appear to have very good memories! I too went to Fox Lane and Balshaws, although I must add that this was in the late 60's and the 70's. I left Balshaws in 1977, some of the names you mention I have never heard of but Mrs Pickersgill and Stan Black I do remember. Miss Wane is the only name I recognise from Fox Lane though. I visited Balshaws a few years ago and although a lot of the build has changed it still prompted many memories.

You need to join a free image hosting site first such as photobucket.com (or google free image hosting if you don't like photobucket) and download the image on to the site. Have you got access to one?

Photobucket works well, but I've forgotten how. Please refresh my memory.

I think Graham Jackson used to play the organ at the Lostock Hall Labour Club back in the late sixties early seventies.

I worked with Graham Jacksons dad Tom, he was a joiner with me at A M Tomlinsons he was also a part time Funeral Director in Eccleston. Tom was immensely proud of Graham and his success.
