Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
i remember starting this school in 1965, it was just down the road from where I lived in Lancaster Crescent. I had happy memories there, even going back to help out on my child care project when I went to senior school.
In 1958 secondary education was available for children who failed the 11+ exam. I attended Skelmersdale Secondary School aged 13 years, 51 weeks old. I was so proud of my new uniform. My best friend was Vivien Pierce and we started together and we loved it. It was a great disappointment not to be able to leave school a year later because I was a few days too young (I had a job to go to). They allowed me leave at Christmas, alas I has lost the job I coveted.
