When I joined the Middlewich Diary Photo Group a couple of years ago I posted these photographs of the beginning of work on the foundations for the Park Road Junior School, together with a scanned copy of the programme for the opening of the School in 1954, a document which was among my Mother's possessions when she died.
In the photos I can identify some names - Clive (my brother) with the glasses (and my arm stretched to his shoulder). Peter Bannaghan, Desmond Spilsbury, Norma Maddock, Joyce Coppenhall - not sure of any others. Please identify them if you can.
Regarding the Opening programme, it's interesting to note that the total cost of land, building, furniture and playing fields was the princely sum of £60,000. Happy days!
Many thanks to Dave for allowing us to share this. If you can help with any other names in the photos, please let us know either by email at middlewichdiary@aol.com
or via our Facebook Photo Page
