Enjoy this album of picture memories of Hindley's Mornington High in the 1970s to '90s

It no longer bears the same name, but to Wigan people of a certain age, Mornington High was Hindley’s main secondary school for years. It later became Hindley High and is now Outwood Academy, but these pictures from our archives show the original incarnation.

Most of these images date from the 1970s and ’90s.
