 Fading memory - I think this was a covered barn like shelter for the infants and girls. There was a similar one in the boys playground, no staying inside just because it was cold or raining! |

Don't forget it was also used as a site for one the many bonfires in Great Horton - seem to remember loads of wicker skips or baskets being burnt as the mills shut down in the 1960s |

| Bethel Chapel's Sunday School building. The primary school on Southfield Lane (Bell School) housed class 3A there from Sept 1956 to July 1957 with Miss Moore. The baby boom was referred to as the 'bulge' by those in education! There were 40+ children in the class. |

I was one of the boomers - moved there as overspill from the Bell School as you said. I was briefly at a nursery adjacent to Cross lane school but when I moved up to the Bell School, it was to here but then the rest of my time was in the main school - Brian Clarke was the Headteacher then, Mrs Styche and another young lady teacher Miss Burns? taught me. |

| Hudson Avenue. This 'extension' to Cross Lane runs into Southfield Lane and sort of made Cross Lane less well used except for residents. |

 Around here is Hunt Yard. So named as the yard was given as a prize to the person who slayed the wild boar terrorising people in the Bolton Woods area in medieval times and this is why there's a boar on the Bfd coat of arms. See pic. It is now old folks housing. |
