A RETIRED police officer who was a wartime pupil at the old Culcheth Secondary Modern School is trying to get in 
touch with any old school pals who may remember him.
Jim Sutton, who is 80 this year, left the school around 1945 and later left the village to join the Royal Navy, where he served for 12 years.
His family lived in Warrington Road while his grandparents lived in Withington Avenue.
Jim (pictured) made a pilgrimage to the old school when he attended a reunion shortly before the old building was demolished. But he didn’t meet up with anyone he knew – nor anyone of his generation.
He joked: “I suppose they could all be in the graveyard now. But if there is anyone still around in Culcheth who remembers me, I would love to meet them.”
He remembers pupils named Green, Clark, Unsworth, Whitield, Taylor, Mort and Lewis.
There were also the Andrews Sisters – “but not the singers” he jokes.
Jim served 22 years in the police after leaving the Navy and retired as a sergeant. He now lives on the Wirral.
He can be contacted by email at sailorbill@talktalk.net or by calling 0151 348 4398.
