A Girls Grammar School in a mining town 69-76.
Moved to the town the previous summer from Eccles, hated it. Loathed school, wanted to be at Eccles Grammar with my friends. However I got an excellent education, that really would have to be paid for these days, and it has done me well in life and career choices. My cohort, who stayed until after sixth form ALevels were the last group to go through unscathed by the comprehensive system.
More of a RL town, I got into watching the local team, went to the old Wembley with them. A few of us were actually footy fans - a mix of Blue, Reds,Dips and incredibly one each of a Chavs and a Barcodes supporter!!
