It’s hard to believe that the fresh-faced youngsters staring out of this selection of photos will be in their late fifties or early sixties now.
We have gone back to the archive to pull out a series of photos which show life in Bolton’s schools 50 years ago.
The year 1974 saw pupils taking part in a wide range of activities ranging from school productions to the annual sports day.
Do you remember your time at school half a century ago? Pupils today would not recognise the classrooms where chalk and blackboards were common and it was long computers were introduced.
If you were at school in 1974, perhaps you are featured in one of the photos or you may recognise someone who is.
