They might have been young when this picture was taken at George Tomlinson School, Kearsley, in the 1950s, but this year (2002) they are celebrating their 60th birthdays!

The photograph has been sent to me by Mrs K Charlton (ne Davis) of Harper Green Road, Farnworth, who is third from the right on the bottom row, and who tells me "There might be snow on the roof, but the fire is not out yet." What on earth can she mean . . .
