First day at Pleckgate, Blackburn, April 1968
There was clearly something missing when these pupils reported to Blackburn’s newest school in April 1968 - their desks!
This photo was taken on the day that Pleckgate School opened in Blackburn and shows teacher Mr J Hayhurst taking the register on that first morning. Hopefully the desks arrived pretty soon afterwards.
