Habergham had some brilliant Maths teachers - Saunders, Blezard, Sutcliffe, Bentley

Gordon is my wife’s uncle. Still going strong and only retired from the family coal business a couple of years ago which. He retired from teaching shortly after Habergham closed in the Building Schools for the Future project.

Does he still have them orange shorts?

Mel Saunders was just a bully, simply a bully. Nothing else. As a “teacher “, he was stealing a living. He never picked on me personally, but I saw him turn classmates into quivering wrecks, and I bet most of them turned out to be better people than he could ever have dreamed of becoming. Absolute ars****e.

Can't argue with anything here.....!

The new Burnley Secondary School (presently up at Parkhill) will be built there. Pleased to say the footy pitches are still there, including the great goalmouth up next to The Vicarage (now Eaves Hall), where Crazylegs once netted 6 in one game (2 with the left, 2 the right and 2 headers) versus Calder High School , as documented in The Brun.
Keep wandering, Dion

Secondary school currently at Park Hill??

It’s an old post from when Burnley High was temporarily based at the business park at Park Hill. It moved into a new building on the old Habergham site in around 2017.

He still did when Habergham closed.

Never heard of that??
Although not a regular on the Turf, he is definitely a Claret.

He was definitely a Forest fan late eighties/early nineties.
