No, those of us of a certain age will remember the termination of the Grammar School system. Farnworth Grammar was merged with Little Lever School, closed down, demolished and is now some old biddy flats.

Generally speaking this would be true for me since I was one of those unfortunates who was packed off to various bleak penal institutions from when I was 8 years old (and they were not my best years). However, from 1948-1952, I did attend a local kindergarten on Princess Road, Lostock, called Miss Spencer's, conveniently located across the street from my house. Boys attended from 4-8 yrs old and girls from 4-11 yrs old. One classmate, April Wilding, went on to become a film actress (see google - her mother, who taught me dancing at Markland Hill Tennis Club, later remarried to Sir Harry Pilkington, a glass bigwig in St. Helen's). The four daughters of the Town Clerk, Mr. Rennison, also attended as well as the son of the BEN owner, Marcus Tillotson. I somewhat doubt any other TW members would have gone there but one never knows.

My parents went to castle hill, or summat. Dad's stories about growing up in Bolton are still the funniest things I have ever heard.
