Mr Cross left earlier this year, Graham Bradley and Keith Vizard are still there, Audrey Cooper has retired but is helping out as a mentor. I see Mr Blackburn around Accrington Town Centre now and again.

I saw Mr Cross in Aldi last week, we saw each other but didn't speak. I left Hollins in 1979. Mr Cooper was my maths teacher, Terry Neville was English teacher, he also was wicket keeper for Accrington CC.

Terry Neville sits on the row in front of me at the crown ground during every Accrington Stanley home game - lovely man, always a gentleman

hi Michael do you remember Steven Richardson? I remember Craig said he was going to agricultural college after Hollins- so I guess he must have and then become a professional gardener.

Yes, I remember him, had red hair and lived off Manchester road I think. You must remember Carl Riley lived at Huncoat, what happened to him? Will try to think of other people I used to know.

Yes that is right, he lived down across from Howarth Park. Carl joined the army - don't know where he is now? What about Nigel Wallwork - remember him?

Craig Bullock is my uncle and is alive and well. He lives in Southern France the majority of the time, but also has a place in Fence.
He's an international Floral Arranger.

Yes I remember your name - I once saw Paul Wright driving a mini cab in London - I'm sure it was him right in the middle of rush hour in among all the traffic

Yes I remember him telling me he was going to agricultural college just before we left school, I don't know if he went but it figures if he did? - it was only about 3 years ago I was watching late night TV - I saw the program Garden Hopping - and surprised to see him in that, at his house round Pendle area, talking about how he designed the garden - amazing.
