Re: allotment

Re: allotment

Gt. Harwood Top Council did in the days before it joined up with Rishton to create the Norden High School , it was tended to by the kids who didn't qualify for the regular A, B and C streams , this class was designated the X stream ( don't think self-esteem was such a big thing in those days )

Re: allotment

St. Pauls at Oswaldtwistle had a garden at the far end of the yard but it was mainly lawned area as we sat out their for some lessons when it was nice.
However, I do remember the boys doing some gardening somewhere, but details are missing as it was not the sort of things girls were allowed to do.
