I remember him. He was the headmaster when I was there but is was Hinchliffe not Hinchcliffe. I remember his being most specific about the way his name was spelt.

Fireman, we were probably at Peel Park at the same time......I remember Miss Butterworth, Mr Gleaves, Miss Kay(who later became Mrs Phillips) Mrs Shaw,Mrs Clifton,Mr Heaton. Do you remember one of the pupils who played violin beautifully......her name was Vivian Ronchetti and she frequently played for morning assembly.

fireman · 09-02-2005, 20:35

Margaret Pilkington · 09-02-2005, 20:44

I lived in the Woodnook area so that was the natural place to go......left at 15......no qualifications, but made it up later in life......but it was hard.

fireman · 09-02-2005, 20:50

i did the same went to hyndburn park left at 14 cause birthday in september then went to college etc and did ok

Margaret Pilkington · 09-02-2005, 20:59

Mr Hinchliffe told me that I wouldn't pass my 11+ and I didn't, I don't think I was ready for it. I left school the year that they started doing GCE's and one of the teachers at Woodnook asked my father to let me stay on at school to take some but he refused......said I had to go out to work.....so I did.
