Brian Blessed is from Bolton -on -Dearne and went to school with my dad.

 

Anybody know what years Graham Oliver went to Wath Comp? Or how old he is?

 

Wonder if he was there the same time as me?

in response to Alysonpeach post re Graham Oliver. I left Wath in 1971 and Graham was the older brother of one of my firends there so I guess he was not there at the same time as you if you were there in 70 - 75
