I, um, went to Farnworth Grammar School, near Bolton. But there is a Liverpool, or rather, Everton Link...

Its also the School that Alan Ball attended in his youth. The English teacher there, Mr Stevens, still remembered him. He used to live (his mother still did I believe) near to us, a few streets away by the New Bury area of Farnworth.

Another famous pupil was Kenneth 'They think its all over' Wolstenholme, who came from nearby Walkden. Now isn't that a coincidence?


Shamefully, the school became a victim of Thatchers fear of 'Elitism in the Working Class' mistake in 1983, and was closed, which had a profound effect on the rest of my education.

When I was in school back in the dark ages, every kid in the city was given a souvenier of the coronation. I still have mine and it has never been used.

No he didn't. I went to school with Derek Twigg. He went to Our Ladys Junior school and Fisher Moore secondary modern in Widnes. At that time The Wade Deacon was a Grammar school and Derek Twigg never passed the 11 plus.

St Anne's, Overbury Street

St Agnes Secondary, L13


St Agnes School, Broadgreen Road, was built sometime in the 60s. It was knocked down in the early 80s I think.

St Margarets school is still there, just!

St Annes - still there, but with a "new" building (think the old one still there.
