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.
Were you among the first pupils at Pleckgate? Was anything else missing when the school opened? Email bygones@nqnw.co.uk with your memories or leave a comment.
