| This
is the cover of the 1946
magazine. The front, inside front
and back covers remained
unchanged throughout the ten-year
period except that on the front
cover the price increased from
sixpence to one shilling in 1946.
The
inside front cover was always
blank and the outside back cover
always had the same advertisement
for 'Hornes'. Initially, the
inside back cover was also blank
but, from 1948 onwards,
advertisements from 'Johnsons'
and 'Jack Sharp' were carried
there.
Additionally,
this file contains the picture of
the winning football team from
the 1946 magazine which was
tipped into the issue. This file
was scanned in colour whereas the
magazines are all scanned in
black and white without covers.
Nine
of the 'Prescotians' are the
property of my school
contemporary, Terry Threlfall,
and I am grateful to him for
lending them to me to scan. The
1953 scan is from a Xerox copy
and is unclear in a few places.
This was obtained from the School
Archive [part of the National
Archives] which is held in Kirkby
Library. I am grateful to Mrs
Eileen Hume, the Knowsley
archivist [since resigned] who
arranged for me to get this copy.
