BYGONES reader Phyllis Bradley has shared photos from her family album.

She has stepped back into history to send us images of her mum as a young school girl, her father at work and herself as a child.

The first image, below, left, shows her mother, Eleanor Wearden in a class photograph, from St Albans infants, probably around the early 1900s.

Eleanor is fifth from the left on the front row. At some time someone put a cross on her pinny to mark the picture for posterity.

The teacher had 27 pupils in her care, 24 of them girls and only three boys.

The second image, shows Phyllis’s father, John Clifford Nuttall, on his horse and cart, delivering milk for the City Dairy.

He is pictured in front of the Olympia Cinema in Blackburn, which was showing the new film The Sin of Nora Moran, released at the end of 1933.

The third,below, shows a young Phyllis Nuttall and her friend Betty Holden, walking along Whalley New Road, in pretty summer frocks, and carrying baskets of flowers, for the annual field day at Hawthorne Street, Methodist Church.
