After a proposal was
made by Lancashire County Council to close St Andrew's school,
the school governors and parishioners got together and made a sustained appeal with a stated
case against closure supported by a signed petition. A folder
containing copies of all the documents was compiled by parishioner
Richard Miller's late father which Richard has kindly made
available.
As time has now
moved-on by almost 20 years there is little point in providing all
the details but the folder contains some photographs or, to be more
accurate, photostats of photographs. While it is a great pity
that the originals do not appear to be around anymore it is still
worthwhile publishing the copies for their intrinsic and historical
value.
Despite efforts to
enhance quality of the photostats there is obviously a lack of
detail but, hopefully, they will still evoke some fond
memories for people who were connected with the school in its heyday
with all of 20 pupils and two teachers!
