Built for 900 girls just before the First World War, the Wolfenden School at Halliwell had an enthusiastic choir, which is pictured here during a rehearsal in 1947.
But when in the 1970s numbers dwindled to 150, it closed its doors and the remaining pupils transferred to Smithills High School. It then became the Wolfenden Community Centre.
