SIR: My sister and I took a nostalgic trip to Lancashire a few years ago and enjoyed it very much, but were disappointed to find our old school, St Patrick's, Bolton, had been demolished.

Do any readers have photos of the old school and any information about its history and past pupils?

When we were at St Patrick's, the headmaster was a Mr Bleasdale. Teachers I remember were Miss Murphy, Miss McCann, Miss Royal. My two sisters, brother and I were there from 1940.
