Yeah that's the one Ged....I may well have been one of those scrawny kids in that photo! I remember the teacher ( Mr. Coleclough ) He had a fearsome collection of canes all of which he used quite freely!
The School was great though! Summers in the playground with the smell of strawberry Jam wafting over from Hartleys mixed with the smell of rubber from the Dunlop factory off Stalamine Road...Great!

That is great, I left Ellergreen in 69, and also went to Ranworth, but a lot earlier than you. . Dont know whether any of the old teachers that I remember would have been there when you were there. Mr Murphy (P.E) Mr Turner (English) Miss Woods, Miss Jackson, Mr Williams, Mrs Scott (Music) Mrs Dyson? How do you put pics on here? I have one taken when I was in a school play in Ranworth, which I would like to put on, just in case anyone recognises themselves.

Nice one Linda. Have you managed to suss how to post a pic yet ? It's easy when you know how.
I remember Mr Felton,Mr Lennon,Mrs Bullock,Mrs Scott. Mr McCallister,Mr Wales, Mrs Jarvis and the headmaster Mr Parry.
Iloved Ranworth andI also loved Ellergreen comp until we went to the upper school. That sucked!
Look forward to this Ranworth pic Good luck!!

I went to Farnworth Grammar. Its in Farnworth, Bolton and was closed and flattened in the 80s at the Tories command (an elite class within the Working class? hmmm)

A faint and admittedly tedious link - It was also the School that taught Alan Ball and Kenneth Wolstenholme (A lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan). Who'd have thought they'd come together a few years later as they did..........and they thought it was all over?

Alans family lived in the street behind where I used to live, and Kenneth was from Walkden, a few minutes away.

Just nostalgia for you

Belter pics them Linda. I'd love to see a few pics of the wooden huts we had.
It's changed a lot since those pics.
You must of been leaving Ranny when I started. You where probably in my brothers year.
Ta for them. Very good (don't stop there).

One of those pics above (pic 5) was taken in the court yard. It was the only place with a bit of grass on. Sometimes in the summer, if you where lucky, you'd get to have a few hours in the sun doing school work. It was a big treat and made our day.
