OLD TYME MUSIC HALL PERFORMANCE (Part 2: Medleys) - 1998

When I think of 1998 it seems like just a few years back, when actually its a staggering 28 years ago!. 😲

We have been recently sent in this performance booklet to be digitally uploaded and preserved in our ever growing achieve of school historical treasures.

'Old Tyme Music Hall' musical performance was a whole school production that even got many of the teachers involved (lots of familiar names in the credits). With special thanks to Jane Ashworth for sending it to us.

Am glad to be able to offer a place were little nuggets of school history can be looked after for future generations.

If you have any items you wish to donate for preservation, please feel free to get intouch. 🙏

AMALGAMATION OF BOYS & GIRLS SCHOOL (Circa 1970's)

As we welcome yet another Prime Minister to 10 Downing Street, its worth noting that Andy Burnham is only the 5th person born in the north to hold this office in British history.

Interestingly enough our last 'Northern' Prime Minster was Harold Wilson (1964 - 1970 & 1974 - 1976) who was the Member of Parliament for the Constituency of Ormskirk from 1945 to 1950.

Our little connection to modern history.
