Great picture. Wish there were more like this!

I was in a year before these lads. I recognize Mills back left. The lad with the ball is Kirkam (older brother John in a year before me) and the lad second from right on the front row is Hill. I remember these lads because they also played on the team in my year

I was at the school between 1954 and 1958. Looking at some of the remarks, made me think at who was who when I was there!
-Frank Garnet was the head (an awful person very brutal, once caned all the boys of our class because one of us whistled when a certain girl came into the classroom).
-Mr. Allen replaced Garnet during my last year. We helped Mr. Allan decorate his new house at Harwood bar.
-Mr Gale came (I think) as replacement for Milton Suthers, this during my 3rd year.
-Our woodwork teacher was Mr. Rydings.

I started at the school in September of 1958 and left in 1962......both Mr Gale and Mr Suthers were still there when I left.
I remember Mr Allen...the pupils nicknamed him Holy Joe...but cannot tell you the reason for this.
I was perpetually scared of Mr Suthers...but I didn't mind Mr Allen.

Makes good reading all this stuff about Woodnook...No, I did not remember your times in and around Woodnook, since I was born in 1939, so my school years started in 1943 and in Leyland...But however, at the age of about 10 / 11 in 1950, a school holiday trip to Plympton (Plymouth) involved meeting a school trip from, you guessed it Woodnook...Accrington.... Pity I do not remember any names from this delightful time...Take Care .......Tony

I am looking to trace Clive Smith.
Clive went to Woodnook School between the years of 1958-1962.
From my memory(which is getting a bit fuzzy for that era) he was a sporty boy.
When he left school I did not have contact with him at all....but I heard that he went into the Royal Marines.
If you know of him, or can supply any information at all.....I would be very grateful.
This information would help someone who is not in the best of health and would like to get in touch with Clive.

This request is also posted in the 'lost friends and family section'.....thanks to the mod who moved it.....much appreciated.

Hi Barry, I was there too during those years, but I can not remember an awful lot. My name was Kathleen Nuttall I had very red hair. I would love it if any one could promt my memory of those times.
