S6 – White Horse Infants C. of E. School

Bolton Road, Westhoughton

In 1890 religious meetings in cottages began in the hamlet of White Horse and these proved to be so popular that a school for infants  was opened in 1893. A weekly Sunday school was held there

The actor Robert Shaw lived opposite the school and was pupil there in 1932

It is now a private nursery called ‘Lilliputs’
