Announcing on their Facebook page on Monday, staff at Brinscall Pre-School Playgroup on Parke Road said they had taken the hard decision to close for good after more than half a century of serving the community. The playgroup was managed by Maureen Amos and operated from a large hall in Hillside Methodist Church.

While the reason is unknown, the Facebook post read: “After 53 years, it’s time to close our doors. Brinscall preschool will be here no more.
