Woodnook Secondary
Hi Everybody
I'm big into genealogy and have tons of info on my family tree's but the other day I was thinking about my time at Woodnook Secondary school 1961-1965 and I could hardly remember any of my classmates so help me out here as my memory is fading fast where you at school in those years. I live in Ireland now so I see nothing to jog my memory. Barry Talbot is my name hope someone can remember. |

Re: Woodnook Secondary
I went to Woodnook from 1958 to 1963,remember Barry Oliver and Peter Ollet well but not from school,I have lived in Huncoat since 1954 and remember Barry lived on Burnley Lane next door to his cousins Les, Derek and Wendy Oldham. Peter lived on what was known as "The Coop Row", on Station Road.
When I first attended Huncoat school at the age of seven, the teacher supposedly said "this is a new starter called Michael Hadfield, he is a tad shy so I want you all to look after him; I have been known as Taddy ever since, to those who are left from my own age group. (sadly diminishing).:(:(:( |

Re: Woodnook Secondary
Young lads can be cruel in giving nicknames. One Huncoat lad I remember was called
'Juggy', as his name was Titterington. |

I remember Brian Bowker. He was in my class at school.

Re: Woodnook Secondary
Brian and Jimmy Bowker lived opposite to us in Sudall ave Huncoat. My older sister Maureen (Brown) also went to Woodnook around the same time as Brian. I seem to recall Jimmy being a councillor or summat.
Getting back to Woodnook, the best teachers for me were Mrs Ashcroft (music)Mr Wade and Mr Gale (science) |
Re: Woodnook Secondary
Hi Taddy.....Sheila Goulding lived on Sudall ave, and had an older sister who used to knock around with my older sister. Bridget Swales lived at the top of Fish lane, opposite the school.I vaguely remember one year '56/'57 the school did The Student Prince and me and Bridget had to kiss on stage.......got ribbed for weeks, and the rumour was we were going steady. We would have been about 6/7yrs old. I also remember Peter Ollet had a chicken coop (probable his fathers) at the side of Fish lane. Used to give me eggs now and then
