21. Many thanks to LP reader Derek France, from Morecambe, for todayâs Looking Back, showing children at St James Primary School, Brindle, Chorley, it is thought at some point between 1972 and 1974. The head teacher, Heather Bell, is pictured back right. The rector is Leo Stevens Hodge. On the front row, Derekâs daughter Jennifer France is seen holding hands with the rector and the boy, wearing a tie, is Andrew Gregson. There were only about 40 pupils at the school. Derek asks whether anyone knows when the photo was taken and why? If you know, email us on [email protected] or write to the address below.
