Right, cheers, Kate, thought perhaps he was an AGS Old Boy!

Re: old boys
I can't help - after my time.I'll go for 61., It would help if we could see the staff. We left Blackburn Rd in 68.

Some of the styles remind me of the 'Beatle cut', cashman, that's why I think 60's. If you look at the photo I posted which was 58/59, there's no-one with that style, in fact I think we'd have died before we had a hair cut like that-a sort of 'basin cut', reminds me of the 40's when we couldn't afford the barbers.

It's April, 1967 to be precise. I'm top row, seventh from left with horned rimmed specs and cheesy grin...and who do we have top row, third from right? Why, it's none other than Councillor Peter Britcliffe!

Re: old boys
I didn't recognise anyone.
I was 25 in 1967 and hadn't developed a taste for toyboys
I did notice that boy you say was PB - just thought he looked a bit of a bully.
