DO YOU remember parading around a field in a white dress, or playing for the Hoole Secondary Modern School football team?

Jean Lloyd, of Hoole, found these photos from her childhood and wondered if any readers recognise them.
Jean, née Jenkins, said: "I was part of the Hamilton Street Methodist Church Sunday School rose queen's retinue in about 1959 when I must have been about eight or nine, I remember us parading around a field at the top of Newton Lane, where the fete was held.

"It was exciting for us - as little girls we didn't often get the chance to dress up and be treated like a princesses for the day.

"I don't know the surnames of a lot of the girls and of course they may have got married now. I would like to hear from any who recognise themselves."

Jean also sent The Chronicle a photograph of Hoole Secondary Modern School's under 13s football team, coached by PE teacher Tom Bateman.

"This was a photo from the school magazine, Hooligans, which was a really good magazine - it always had photos and people wrote articles for it.

"I used to organise the school reunions so I think someone gave it to me then.

"The photo must have been taken sometime in the 1960s."
