Constructing Woodhey Comprehensive School at Holcombe Brook in 1977
Taken in the summer of 1977, this photo shows work beginning on constructing Woodhey Comprehensive School at Holcombe Brook.
It was expected to take two years to complete the 800-place school which would welcome its first pupils in September 1978.
The £1.25m project would see the closure of Peel Brow County Secondary School and mainly provide education for youngsters within the Ramsbottom area
