AS Blackburn with Darwen Council plan to close Tullyallan School in Darwen, I am researching its history with some of the present pupils.

I am particularly interested in the recollections of anyone who went to the school between 1926 and 1939 when it was for 'delicate' children.

I also know it was a cookery centre for other schools and I aim also to find our about the Eccles family who sold the house that became the school.
