James’s CE School chose a different colour for the clothes they wore, and then put a huge rainbow together when they attended morning assembly in the school hall. Afterwards, the pupils, totalling 300, went out .


parallel with Whalley Road before reaching the AG71 close to the AG80 Accrington Road junction. “There is a broad con­
