I find images and film of Salford in previous years fascinating. My mother was born in Cleminson St, Greengate but pretty much all of that area has been re-developed so there is little trace of the surroudings she would have remembered.

I remember Tony Downs recording this for the album 'Flowers of Manchester' in 1979 at the Ring'o'bells in Middleton, Manchester. He was with fiddle player Martin Lynot back then and they went as The Two Beggermen. Great tribute song from a great album.

I live in Australia now and for almost 40 years. I was born on Hilda St Salford as was my siblings from 1957 to 1966 - this street Hilda St backed onto Mocha Street. We used to have Bonfires on the croft that faced us in November - I think Bellamys Crumpet factory was close by and a chip shop and corner store called Guys???? Possible Frederick Rd or lower Broughton Rd. Bonifaces School was close by but I went to Ascension School further away.... mum got us dressed up all smart for Whit week and we watched the school bands walk passed it was just wonderful....we were moved on when I was 11 and the street knocked down. The best 11 years of my life... QUESTION which school was your photo from Pete ??

Ah, 3rd picture in, two blokes walking up the street and a chapel up to the left. That chapel became one of the first ever Tesco self service stores (as ca be seen later on). I lived opposite there on Borough Street. When I was a kid in the 1960's, there was a film crew outside Golds chemist, filming an old bin lorry coming around the corner. I thought it very exciting but I didn't know what it was about - until I saw the shot on a TV show... "Mam, it's the dustbinmen". Great to see Pendleton shots.

@daveglynn748 3 жыл бұрын

@@alanstarkie2001 I remember those contraptions Alan but I don’t remember her. The other kids in the street around my age that I remember were Pete & Wayne Cunliff Trevor Howard there was a slightly older lad who’s surname was Burke, Terry Fannings, and next door was the Bond family. I lived at number 29 and our house backed on to Bairds Factory that made TVs. I lived there for around 2 years before moving to Walton St up the road as we were forever flitting. Usually by night😂. I remember Sammy Offmans Toy Shop nearby on whit lane and the toffee shop that was run by another pals parents Gary Hamilton. We all used to have massive pitched battles on the pickleworks Croft with catapult and brick especially around and leading up to Bonny Night when we guarded our wood fiercely. I’v some great memories of living on Borough street. Oh yegh’ and I remember the Mayoress of Salford had a corner shop at the top of the street near orchard street facing Ward & Goldstones Factory.

@@daveglynn748 Brilliant! I lived at No 11, next door to old Mrs Addis. She used to tell me about how she worked in the mills as a young girl and during the great war, she looked up and saw a "great big silver fish in the sky". She was talking about a zeppelin. I didn't think that any Zeppelins flew that far inland and thought she made it up but I recently found out that in 1916, a Zeppelin did go on a bombing raid over bury and Ramsbottom and in 1918 over Radcliffe. Anyway, I didn't get to know the kids on the street because I used to hang out with school mates in Lower Broughton. I do recall that the family across the street, on the corner (where you could cut through to the croft I think you're talking about), kept a sheep in the house lol. In 1967 a new shop opened called Woody's - a pet shop. I got a ferret but I don't think he had sheep! Maybe they were fattening it up for the butcher around the corner. I remember about how you had to guard the bonnie or go on raiding parties haha! No 11 was plagued with bed bugs and that freaked me out. We were eventually re-housed to Pendleton Green on Nursery Street in 1970. Cheers, thanks for the memories.
