The War Memorial is in the school which is in Lynwood Road, Huncoat

OS ref: 103  SD775 306

IN MEMORY OF THE OLD SCHOLARS

OF

THE HUNCOAT DAT AND EVENING SCHOOLS

WHO FELL IN DEFENCE OF

LIBERTY AND HONOURING

DURING THE GREAT WAR

1914 - 1918

THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE

The memorial which was in the school hall was unveiled by Harold Peel. At some stage it was removed and put into storage but in 1988 was discovered and placed outside the school office.

The above photo is from a postcard in my collection and has the photographer "Watsons, Accrington" embossed at the bottom, it dates from before the Second World War as four further names were added afterwards and these do not appear on the photo (if anyone can give me the names I will add them to this page).
