Mr Andrew Mansell (left), of Holmbridge, who built the pond at the Slaithwaite school, and Mr Bob McCartney, director general of the Vehicle Builders and Repairers Association, who sponsored it, fish for the newly introduced goldfish.

Headmaster Harry Trumbell said all the 135 pupils would use the pond in their nature studies.
