| I
had a blazer which had belonged to one of our
members (Alec Weston) who died last year. The
Blazer really is a one off because it has the
school crest sewn on the top pocket with the
letters OBA (Old Boys Association) under the
crest. This was, of course, the insignia used by
the group of Old Boys shortly after the St.
Helens Road site was established in 1924, and it
probably is one of a very few still in
existence.(if any) There was another suprise with
the blazer when I found in the pocket a copy of
the service which was used at the old school for
the unveiling and dedication of the war memorial.
This is also dated 1924. It really is a piece of
school history and it truly belongs in the school
archives now held by the Knowsley Library
authorities.I will be speaking to their archivist
about this. |
