MY story about the 90th celebrations of Wolfenden School, Bolton (moves to a new building in The Valley this summer), brought a letter from Elsie Heveran, of Red Lane, Breightmet.
"It was the only nursery school when I went there at three or four years old," she writes. "I remember the Coronation of King George VI, when all the young ones at the school received a tin of chocolates with a picture of the King and Queen. During the war, the playground was made into a shelter, and we had air raid drill every day.
"Inside the school there was a small two-bedroomed house where we learned housework, and there were three kitchens, with three children to each kitchen, where we learned old-fashioned washing ways and cookery."
