THE picture of schoolboy skaters which appeared last week has led to further information from Mr Brian Fielding of Egerton.

Mr Fielding, who was at Bolton School in the 1940s, thinks the picture could well have been taken during the bad winter of 1947 at Doffcocker Lodge.

He says it was usual for trips to the lodge to be arranged when frozen pitches affected games sessions.

"The teacher on the picture was probably Bernard Harrison," Mr Fielding tells me.
