MEMORIES of old Radcliffe, including the Walker Allen window from the town hall, should be included in the Radcliffe Riverside School, which will open in 2007, the Area Board was told this week.

At a meeting of the Radcliffe Area Board this week members of the public suggested that the Walker Allen window from the former Radcliffe Town Hall should be displayed in the school.

The window was given to the town by Walker Allen's cotton mill in 1935, to celebrate Radcliffe receiving its charter.

Mrs Diana Morton, the school's executive head, told the meeting: "It would be nice to include items from the town in the site. Other residents have mentioned having this window incorporated into the school building, and the paper mill has also asked if we would like to display items such as the old roll-of-honour from their old building.

"I would like to take parts of the old schools to the new site as well, like the clock tower from Radcliffe High School."

From September, Radcliffe High and Coney Green Technology College will operate as the Radcliffe Riverside School on the two sites in Abden Street and Spring Lane until the new £15 million school opens.
