| 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.
