Keith’s father Stan AUSTIN attended Linacre Rd school from the late 1920s. He wrote: 

School was at the Linacre Lane School which Stan attended until he was fourteen years old. A typical school day was from 9.00am to 4.00pm with a 20 minute break for lunch. Each child received a free bottle of milk each morning. The headmaster was Mr DICKINSON who they nicknamed "wooden leg" because of a WW1 wound. "Wooden leg" was remembered for his punishment stick consisting of a wooden chair leg. If a child pulled his hand away during a caning, the headmaster quickly hit the pupil's knuckles on the return stroke. Other teachers included the Griffith brothers, Mr VINCENT and Mrs McPHERSON who eventually went on to become a principal in the primary school system. 

The school is still listed as Thornton Rd, Bootle.
