Victor Seddon

Railway Clerk working at several local stations and depots including Plodder Lane, Burnden and Patricroft where he was Chief Clerk.

He was a Councillor for 15 years from 1935 until retirement in 1950 and Chairman of the Finance Committee for nine years. He was also a member of the Library Sub-committee.

Child welfare was one of his keen interests and he was a Governor of Farnworth Grammar School and a manager of Little Lever Secondary Modern School. He strongly opposed a proposal to convert Little Lever Secondary School to a Junior and Infants School which would have meant children over 11 having to travel to another neighbourhood.
